If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

O Lord, you know what is best for me. Let this or that be done, as you please. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will.

The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.

Christ willed to suffer and be despised and do you dare complain of the same? Christ had adversaries and backbiters; and do you wish to have all men your friends and benefactors? When shall your patience attain her crown if no adversity befalls you? If you are willing to suffer naught that is against you, how will you be the friend of Christ?

Man proposes, but God disposes.

What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?

In Jesus and for Him, enemies and friends alike are to be loved.
