O Lord, You Know What Is Best

A Pure, Sincere, And Stable Spirit Is Not Distracted Though It Be Employed In Many Works; For That It Works All To The Honor Of God, And Inwardly Being Still And Quiet, Seeks Not Itself In Any Thing It Doth.

But Because Many Endeavor To Get Knowledge Rather Than To Live Well, They Are Often Deceived And Reap Little Or No Benefit From Their Labor.

Forasmuch As Many People Study More To Have Knowledge Than To Live Well Therefore Ofttimes They Err And Bring Forth Little Fruit Or None.

He Does Much Who Loves God Much, And He Does Much Who Does His Deed Well, And He Does His Deed Well Who Does It Rather For The Common Good Than For His Own Will.

Trust Not To Friends And Kindred, Neither Do Thou Put Off The Care Of Thy Soul's Welfare Til Hereafter; For Men Will Sooner Forget Thee Than Thou Art Aware Of.
