Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death; trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.

He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.

May not be your peace in the mouth of the men; since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.

If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.

Patience is necessary in this life because so much of life is fraught with adversity. No matter how hard we try, our lives will never be without strife and grief. Thus, we should not strive for a peace that is without temptation, or for a life that never feels adversity. Peace is not found by escaping temptations, but by being tried by them. We will have discovered peace when we have been tried and come through the trial of temptation.
