The Most Essential Point Is Lowliness.

True Love Goes Ever Straight Forward, Not In Its Own Strength, But Esteeming Itself As Nothing. Then Indeed We Are Truly Happy. The Cross Is No Longer A Cross When There Is No Self To Suffer Under It.

It Is Not The Multitude Of Hard Duties, It Is Not The Constraint And Contention That Advance Us In Our Christian Course. On The Contrary, It Is The Yielding Of Our Wills Without Restriction And Without Choice To Tread Cheerfully Every Day In The Path In Which Providence Leads Us. It Is To Seek Nothing, To Be Discouraged By Nothing, To See Our Duty In The Present Moment, And To Trust All Else Without Reserve To The Will And Power Of God.

Can We Be Unsafe Where God Has Placed Us, And Where He Watches Over Us As A Parent A Child That He Loves?

Real Friends Are Our Greatest Joy And Our Greatest Sorrow. It Were Almost To Be Wished That All True And Faithful Friends Should Expire On The Same Day.

I No Longer Desire Anything But To Be Thine.
