The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness, but thinking of strength.

The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? Is it the fault of the merciful Father, whose wind of mercy is blowing without ceasing, day and night, whose mercy knows no decay, is it His fault that some of us are happy and some unhappy? We make our own destiny. His sun shines for the weak as well as for the strong. His wind blows for saint and sinner alike. He is the Lord of all, the Father of all, merciful, and impartial.

There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.

So long as there is desire or want, it is a sure sign that there is imperfection. A perfect, free being cannot have any desire.

When you feel gloomy, think what has been done within the last year. How, rising from nothing.
