Listen Less To Your Own

Faith Is Letting Down Our Nets Into The Transparent Deeps At The Divine Command, Not Knowing What We Shall Draw.

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.

The History Of The World Suggests That Without Love Of God There Is Little Likelihood Of A Love For Man That Does Not Become Corrupt.

Resign Every Forbidden Joy; Restrain Every Wish That Is Not Referred To God's Will; Banish All Eager Desires, All Anxiety; Desire Only The Will Of God; Seek Him Alone And Supremely, And You Will Find Peace.

That Love Of Self, Which The World Advocates, Is A Thousand Times More Dangerous Than Any Poison.
