Man proposes; God disposes. Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it. It is much safer to obey than to rule. It is much safer to obey than to rule. There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope. If you bear the cross unwillingly, you make it a burden, and load yourself more heavily; but you must bear it. If you cast away one cross, you will certainly find another, and perhaps a heavier. Know all and you will pardon all. There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope. A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences. For the multitude of worldly friends profiteth not, nor may strong helpers anything avail, nor wise counselors give profitable counsel, nor the cunning of doctors give consolation, nor riches deliver in time of need, nor a secret place to defend, if Thou, Lord, do not assist, help, comfort, counsel, inform, and defend.

A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences.

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things. Therefore it avails for all things, and fulfils and accomplishes much where one not a lover falls and lies helpless.

It is thy duty oftentimes to do what thou wouldst not; thy duty, too, to leave undone that thou wouldst do. And when he is out of sight, quickly also he is out of mind. O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth. Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more. |
