If I were wrong, wouldn't one be enough?

I don't fret over lost time - I can always use the situations in a novel.

I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...

Age must give way to youth, no doubt. But not yet, not yet.

The great souls who became mighty in prayer and rejoiced to spend three and four hours a day alone with God were once beginners.

In order to help people, you have to first learn how to help yourself.
