The History Of The World

As Long As Anything In This World Means Anything To You, Your Freedom Is Only A Word. You Are Like A Bird That Is Held By A Leash; You Can Only Fly So Far.

Be Content With Doing Calmly The Little Which Depends Upon Yourself, And Let All Else Be To You As If It Were Not.

If We Had Strength And Faith Enough To Trust Ourselves Entirely To God; And Follow Him Simply Wherever He Should Lead Us, We Should Have No Need Of Any Great Effort Of Mind To Reach Perfection.

There Is No Real Elevation Of Mind In A Contempt Of Little Things; It Is, On The Contrary, From Too Narrow Views That We Consider Those Things Of Little Importance Which Have In Fact Such Extensive Consequences.

Had We Not Faults Of Our Own, We Should Take Less Pleasure In Complaining Of Others.
