Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.

I live because I am a Warrior and because I wish one day to be in the company of [She] for whom I have fought so hard

It is not the mouth that is the main thing to be looked at in prayer, but whether the heart is so full of affection and earnestness in prayer with God, that it is impossible to express their sense and desire; for then a man desires indeed, when his desires are so strong, many, and mighty, that all the words, tears, and groans that can come from the heart, cannot utter them.

What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.

I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.

Run when I can, walk when I cannot run, and creep when I cannot walk.

It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.
