If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.

For man plans, but God arranges.

For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.

A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.

Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.
