Connolly, Cyril

We didn't think much in the air corps of a fellow who wangled a cushy job out of his C.O. by buttering him up.

Panin, Nikita Ivanovich

33.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

Mother Teresa

34.

Sometimes it seems like God is difficult to find and impossibly far away. We get so caught up in our small daily duties and irritations that they become the only things that we can focus on.

Eckhart, Meister

42.

Or perhaps she's just softening me up: she's a Baptist, she'd like me to find Jesus, or vice versa, before it's too late. That kind of thing doesn't run in her family: her mother Reenie never went in much for God. There was mutual respect, and if you were in trouble, naturally you'd call on him, as with lawyers, but as with lawyers, it would have to be bad trouble. Otherwise it didn't pay to get too mixed up with him.

Margaret Atwood
