• Y cuando el acontecimiento, el gran cambio en tu vida, es simplemente una percepción, ¿no es extraño? Que no cambie absolutamente nada, excepto que ves las cosas de otra manera y, como resultado, tienes menos miedo y estás menos ansioso y, en general, más fuerte: ¿no es asombroso que una cosa completamente invisible en tu cabeza pueda parecer más real que cualquier otra cosa que hayas experimentado antes?

• Si somos verdaderos cristianos, no debemos esperar que todo sea fácil en nuestro camino hacia el cielo. No debe parecernos extraño tener que soportar enfermedades, pérdidas, duelos y decepciones, como los demás hombres. El perdón gratuito y total, la gracia a lo largo del camino, y la gloria al final, todo esto nuestro Salvador ha prometido dar. Pero Él nunca ha prometido que no tendremos aflicciones.

• Quiero hacer lo correcto, pero a menudo no sé qué es lo correcto. Cada día sé que me he quedado corto en lo que me gustaría haber hecho. Sin embargo, a medida que pasan los años y veo el propio mundo, con sus océanos y montañas y llanuras, como algo inacabado, una pequeña y peculiar satisfacción caza en los rincones de mi corazón. Las puestas de sol y las sombras del atardecer me hacen lamentar las tareas inacabadas, pero el sueño, el amanecer y el aire de la mañana me infunden nuevas esperanzas. Cosas extrañas entran por mi ventana en alas del viento nocturno y no me preocupa mi destino.

  Carl Sandburg
