"In Christ the middle wall of partition has been broken down. There is no Jew, no Gentile-no black, white, yellow, or red. We could be one great brotherhood in Jesus Christ.

The race problem could become another flame out of control!"

"And mother-like, Mrs. Jo forgot the threatened chastisement in tender lamentations over the happy scapegrace."

"It's highly virtuous to say we'll be good, but we can't do it all at once, and it takes a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together before some of us even get our feet set in the right way."

"We don't choose our talents, but we needn't hide them in a napkin because they are not just what we want."
