You may assuredly find perfect peace, if you are resolved to do that which your Lord has plainly required--and content that He should indeed require no more of you--than to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him.
John RuskinIt is not the weariness of mortality, but the strength of divinity, which we have to recognize in all mighty things; and that is just what we now never recognize, but think that we are to do great things by help of iron bars and perspiration. Alas! we shall do nothing that way but lose some pounds of our own weight.
John RuskinLet every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close: โ then let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others โ some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.
John RuskinCursing is invoking the assistance of a spirit to help you inflict suffering. Swearing on the other hand, is invoking, only the witness of a spirit to an statement you wish to make.
