Worry is the cross which we make for ourselves by over anxiety.

Should we feel at times disheartened and discouraged, a simple movement of heart toward God will renew our powers. Whatever he may demand of us, he will give us at the moment the strength and courage that we need.

The history of the world suggests that without love of God there is little likelihood of a love for man that does not become corrupt.

We must have faith during the period of our grief. We think that our afflictions will be greater than we can bear, but we do not know the strength of our own hearts, nor the power of God. He knows all. He knows every folding of the heart and also the extent of the sorrow that he inflicts. What we think will overwhelm us entirely only subdues and conquers our pride. Our renewed spirit rises from its subjugation with a celestial strength and consolation.

We are not to choose the manner in which our blessings shall be bestowed.

Time is given us that we may take care for eternity; and eternity will not be too long to regret the loss of our time if we have misspent it.

The passion of acquiring riches in order to support a vain expense corrupts the purest souls.
