So Fixed Are Our Spirits

Do Not Be Influenced By The Importance Of The Writer, And Whether His Learning Be Great Or Small, But Let The Love Of Pure Truth Draw You To Read. Do Not Inquire, Who Said This? But Pay Attention To What Is Said.

So Fixed Are Our Spirits In Slothfulness And Cold Indifference That We Seldom Overcome So Much As One Evil Habit.

The More Humble And Obedient To God A Man Is, The More Wise And At Peace He Will Be In All That He Does.

Trust Not To Your Feelings For Whatever They Might Be Now, They Will Quickly Be Changed Towards Some Other Thing.

Oh, How Swiftly The Glory Of The World Passes Away!
