We Should Even Go Beyond

Any One Who Chooses Will Set Up For A Literary Critic, Though He Cannot Tell Us Where He Went To School, Or How Much Time Was Spent In His Education, And Knows Nothing About Letters At All.

Now, If You Notice How The Swan, Putting Its Neck Down Into The Deep Water, Brings Up Food For Itself From Below, Then You Will Discover The Wisdom Of The Creator, In That He Gave It A Neck Longer Than Its Feet For This Reason, That It Might, As If Lowering A Sort Of Fishing Line, Procure The Food Hidden In The Deep Water.

Our Savior Was Crucified For Our Sakes That By His Death He Might Give Us Life And Train And Attract Us All To Endurance. To Him I Press On, And To The Father And To The Holy Spirit. I Strive To Be Found True, Judging Myself Unworthy Of This World's Goods; And Yet Not I Because Of The World, But The World Because Of Me. Think Of All These Things In Your Heart; Follow Them With Zeal; Fight, As You Have Been Commanded, For The Truth To The Death: For Christ Was Made 'obedient' Even 'to Death'
