In The Cross Is Salvation; In The Cross Is Life; In The Cross Is Protection Against Our Enemies; In The Cross Is Infusion Of Heavenly Sweetness; In The Cross Is Strength Of Mind; In The Cross Is Joy Of Spirit; In The Cross Is Excellence Of Virtue; In The Cross Is Perfection Of Holiness. There Is No Salvation Of Soul, Nor Hope Of Eternal Life, Save In The Cross.

Is A Man One Whit The Better Because He Is Grown Great In Other Men's Esteem?

Man Proposes, But God Disposes. [lat., Nam Homo Proponit, Sed Deus Disponit.]
