I hope you find value in these encouraging quotes about Ago.
When a man you like switches from what
he said a year ago, or four years ago,

to change his mind with changing conditions.
When a man you don't like does it,
he is a liar who has broken his promise.

We've got some difficult days ahead.
But it doesn't matter with me now.

I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will.
And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight, that we,
as a people, will get to the promised land.
