There Is Never Any Peace For Those

The More Perfect We Are, The More Gentle And Quiet We Become Toward The Defects Of Other People.

O Lord, I Do Most Cheerfully Commit All Unto Thee.

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.

Despondency Is Not A State Of Humility; On The Contrary, It Is The Vexation And Despair Of A Cowardly Pride--nothing Is Worse; Whether We Stumble Or Whether We Fall, We Must Only Think Of Rising Again And Going On In Our Course.

We May Be Sure That It Is The Love Of God Only That Can Make Us Come Out Of Self. If His Powerful Hand Did Not Sustain Us, We Should Not Know How To Take The First Step In That Direction.
