Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.
So passes away the glory of this world. ('Sic transit gloria mundi.')
Permit no hour to go by without it due improvement.
God often gives in one brief moment that which He has for a long time denied.
As iron cast into fire loses its rust and becomes glowing white, so he who turns completely to God is stripped of his sluggishness and changed into a new man.
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.
