The Obedience Of Men Is To Imitate The Obedience Of Angels, And Rational Beings On Earth Are To Live Unto God, As Rational Beings In Heaven Live Unto Him.

Be Intent Upon The Perfection Of The Present Day.

You Have No Questions To Ask Of Any Body, No New Way That You Need Inquire After; No Oracle That You Need To Consult; For Whilst You Shut Yourself Up In Patience, Meekness, Humility, And Resignation To God, You Are In The Very Arms Of Christ, Your Heart Is His Dwelling-place, And He Lives And Works In You.
