When we trust our brother, whom we have seen, we are learning to trust God, whom we have not seen.

Never hurry. Take plenty of exercise. Always be cheerful. Take all the sleep you need. You may expect to be well.

We are either progressing or retrograding all the while; there is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life.
