-If parents are paying a lot of money and boys are working hard, then everything should work out and there should not be any problems: hard work should be rewarded with good grades and success in extracurriculars; everything should go well. Life is not fair.
-Getting cut was among the most valuable experiences I had as a boy. It prepared me well for the reality of life. For life brings many disappointments and defeats.
-A high school should prepare its students for life.
-Cope with the disappointments of school life, you learn how to deal wit the setbacks that follow in later life.
-It is an obscenity to confuse disappointment with tragedy.
-Every disappointment, every setback you will have in life is an opportunity for growth.
-Every time you make a choice in life, you necessarily rule out other choices you might have made. Every time you make one choice, you give up other choices. Every choice involves pain. That's the way life is.
-There is a great tendency to focus on our problems. Count your blessings.
-I was closed to many of life's possibilities, not open to understanding things more deeply, convinced there was nothing there.
-The very hairs on your head are numbered.
-The path to the abundant life, my dear children, is not simple or easy or exact. We work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
-Their son's rejection by their number one choice college was not really a tragedy.
-A school that prepares students for life has, I believe, a twofold mission: first, to remind students of the stark reality that life is short and ends in death; and second, to help students gain some insight into the meaning and purpose of their short and fleeting earthly lives.
-Only those who have the courage to see life in the perspective of death, only those who understand that life is short, can be truly happy.
