It Is Well with My Soul Quotes

“What's important for me now is the same thing it always was - compassion. I can't think of anything more important. I've loved my fellow citizens. I've loved my children.

I'm not worshipping somebody else's God, but I am insisting on the ability to worship my way, and be the person He would have me be.”
