Commit yourself then to God! He will be your guide. He Himself will travel with you, as we are told He did with the Israelites, to bring them step by step across the desert to the promised land. Ah! what will be your blessedness, if you will but surrender yourself into the hands of God, permitting Him to do whatever He will, not according to your desires, but according to His own good pleasure?

Nothing is so costly as the pursuit of a cure for imaginary ills.

All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

Prayer is so necessary, and the source of so many blessings, that he who has discovered the treasure cannot be prevented from having recourse to it, whenever he has an opportunity.

Even if no command to pray had existed, our very weakness would have suggested it.

Speak, move, act in peace.

Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.
