A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Study to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.
