Signs of the Times

with contributions from E. Stanley Jones

E. Stanley Jones in an article in the Piqua Daily Call, Ohio

Keep on growing so that anything derogatory that is said about you will belong to the man who was and not to the man who is.... A college president... when asked how he could keep his composure in the face of continual shots fired at him from students, from professors, from alumni, and from the general public, replied, with a broad and generous smile: "Oh, I just keep moving and let the shots drop behind me."...

Love never fails, for the giving out of love is the victory. If the person concerned accepts it, then you have won; if he does not accept it, you have also won, for you are the more loving. In everything that happens look for the growing point. Every disturbance can disturb you upward.
