O Lord, Thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as Thou shalt please. Give what Thou wilt, how much Thou wilt, and when Thou wilt. Deal with me as thou thinkest best. Place me where Thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as Thou wilt. Behold, I am Thy servant, prepared for all things: I desire not to live unto myself, but unto Thee; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!

Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.

Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.

Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.

Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.

It is thy duty often times to do what thou wouldst not; thy duty too, to leave undone that thou wouldst do.
