The Lord confers great honor on his servants when he brings them suffering.

What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.

A righteous person is one who lives for the next generation.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.
