Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven.

It is the opener of the heart of God, and a means by which the soul, though empty, is filled.

You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.

To-despise the world is the way to enjoy heaven; and blessed are they who delight to converse with God by prayer.

a man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.

Riches and power, what is there more in the world? For money answereth all things-that is, all but soul concerns. It can neither be a price for souls while here, nor can that, with all the forces of strength, recover one out of hell fire.

Sincerity carries the soul in all simplicity to open its heart to God.
