In life troubles will come which seem as if they never will pass away.  The night and the storm look as though they will last forever; but calm and the morning cannot be stayed; the storm in its very nature is transient.  The effort of nature, as that of the human heart, is to return to its repose, for God is peace.

George MacDonald

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

Isaiah 64:8
The New King James Version

Today I’m going to give two examinations. One in trigonometry and the other in honesty.  I hope you will pass them both.  If you must fail one, fail trigonometry.  There are many good people in the world who can’t pass trig, but there are no good people in the world who cannot pass a test of honesty.

What Dr. Madison Sarratt used to tell his class at Vanderbilt University each year.
