The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.

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

Oh, how quickly the world's glory passes away.

The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.

What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.
