True Piety Hath In It

So Long As We Are Full Of Self We Are Shocked At The Faults Of Others. Let Us Think Often Of Our Own Sin, And We Shall Be Lenient To The Sins Of Others.

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.

Fear Is Like The Strong Medicine Used To Fight Serious Diseases; It Purges, But It Also Alters Your Temperament And Wears Out The Body Organs. A Person Who Is Driven By Fear Will Always Be The Weaker For It

God Is Our True Friend, Who Always Gives Us The Counsel And Comfort We Need. Our Danger Lies In Resisting Him; So It Is Essential That We Acquire The Habit Of Hearkening To His Voice, Or Keeping Silence Within, And Listening So As To Lose Nothing Of What He Says To Us.

God Never Makes Us Sensible Of Our Weakness Except To Give Us Of His Strength.
