Even If No Command To Pray Had

Simplicity Brings Back The Joys Of Paradise. Not That We Have Pure Pleasure Without A Moment's Suffering, But When We Are Surrendered To God, We Are Not Grasping For Pleasure, And Even Our Troubles Are Received With Thanksgiving. This Inner Harmony, And This Deliverance From Fear And The Tormenting Desires Of Self, Create A Satisfaction In The Soul Which Is Above All The Intoxicating Joys Of This World Put Together.

It Is Better To Die Than To Tell A Lie

There Are Some People Who Think That They Should Be Always Mourning, That They Should Put A Continual Constraint Upon Themselves, And Feel A Disgust For Those Amusements To Which They Are Obliged To Submit. For My Own Part, I Confess That I Know Not How To Conform Myself To These Rigid Notions. I Prefer Something More Simple, Which I Also Think Would Be More Pleasing To God.

The Christian Life Is A Long And Continual Tendency Of Our Hearts Toward That Eternal Goodness Which We Desire On Earth. All Our Happiness Consists In Thirsting For It. Now This Thirst Is Prayer. Ever Desire To Approach Your Creator, And You Will Never Cease To Pray. Do Not Think It Necessary To Pronounce Many Words.
