Your best servant is the person who does not attend so much to hearing what he himself wants as to willing what he has heard from you.

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.
