“Life is no straight and every
corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of
passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley.
But always, if we have faith, God will open a door for us, Not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever
have thought of, But one that will ultimately prove good for us.” ~A.J.
Cronin
