Joseph Barber Lightfoot

God helping me, I will help my brothers and sisters in Christ, because they are my brothers and sisters.

Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also.

Words contract a significance which clings to them long after the condition of things to which they owe it has passed away.

I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.
