While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.

If God contains the fullness of all good things in Himself like an inexhaustible fountain, nothing beyond Him is to be sought by those who strike after the highest good and all the elements of happiness.

Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow.

Things that are seen are temporal; things that are unseen are eternal.
