William Alexander Percy Quotes

The Good Die When They Should Live, The Evil Live When They Should Die; Heroes Perish And Cowards Escape; Noble Efforts Do Not Succeed Because They Are Noble, And Wickedness Is Consumed In Its Own Nature. Looking At Truth Is Not At First A Heartening Experience--it Becomes So, If At All, Only With Time, With Infinite Patience, And With The Luck Of A Little Personal Happiness.
