Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.

If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.

And if thy heart be straight with God then every creature shall be to thee a mirror of life and a book of holy doctrine for there is no creature so little or so despised but that sheweth and representeth the goodness of God.

If you can win complete mastery over self, you will easily master all else. To triumph over self is the perfect victory.

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