I Have Sought For Happiness

For A Small Reward, A Man Will Hurry Away On A Long Journey; While For Eternal Life, Many Will Hardly Take A Single Step.

A Man Is Hindered And Distracted In Proportion As He Draws Outward Things To Himself.

Christ Willed To Suffer And Be Despised And Do You Dare Complain Of The Same? Christ Had Adversaries And Backbiters; And Do You Wish To Have All Men Your Friends And Benefactors? When Shall Your Patience Attain Her Crown If No Adversity Befalls You? If You Are Willing To Suffer Naught That Is Against You, How Will You Be The Friend Of Christ?

All Men Commend Patience, Although Few Are Willing To Practice It.

I Have Often Heard, That It Is Safer To Hear And To Take Counsel, Than To Give It.
