A man may lose the good things of this life against his will; but if he loses the eternal blessings, he does so with his own consent.
If you understand, it is not God.

Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.
For what am I to myself without You, but a guide to my own downfall?
