Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.

Ordinary work, which is what most of us do, most of the time, is ordained by God every bit as much as is the extraordinary.

When the Constitution declares that 'all men are created equal,' it is not referring to intelligence, good looks, good humor, height, weight, or income. It is talking about certain rights, 'inalienable', in that they cannot be taken away.

When obedience to God contradicts what I think will give me pleasure, let me ask myself if I love Him.

You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.
