If You Think That You Can Sin,

I Read Hard, Or Not At All; Never Skimming, Never Turning Aside To Merely Inciting Books; And Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Sterne, Jonathan Edwards, Have Passed Like The Iron Atoms Of The Blood Into My Mental Constitution.

There Is An Inward State Of The Heart Which Makes Truth Credible The Moment It Is Stated. It Is Credible To Some Men Because Of What They Are.

The Divine Wisdom Has Given Us Prayer, Not As A Means Whereby To Obtain The Good Things Of Earth, But As A Means Whereby We Learn To Do Without Them; Not As A Means Whereby We Escape Evil, But As A Means Whereby We Become Strong To Meet It.

He In Whose Heart The Law Was, And Who Alone Of All Mankind Was Content To Do It, His Sacrifice Alone Can Be The Sacrifice All-sufficient In The Father's Sight As The Proper Sacrifice Of Humanity; He Who Through The Eternal Spirit Offered Himself Without Spot To God, He Alone Can Give The Spirit Which Enables Us To Present Our Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy And Acceptable To God. He Is The Only High-priest Of The Universe.

Every Natural Longing Has Its Natural Satisfaction. If We Thirst, God Has Created Liquids To Gratify Thirst. If We Are Susceptible Of Attachment, There Are Beings To Gratify That Love. If We Thirst For Life And Love Eternal, It Is Likely That There Are An Eternal Life And An Eternal Love To Satisfy That Craving.
