I live now in solitude and am able to use my time reflecting on the past and preparing for death. I cannot put away the thought of the Indians and in my ambition I fly to the Rockies.

There are no difficulties except for those who worry too much about tomorrow.

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

God alone and the desire of His glory - nothing else matters.

We may not understand His Will for us in time, but in eternity the veil will be drawn and we shall see that He acted only for our happiness.

If only I could be hidden in a corner, so as not to be tempted to worry about things that are not really my business.

My prayers are just an outpouring of gratitude for the assurance of that most completely desired Will of God, which will seem all the more desirable in all that is ahead.
