If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?

We must imitate Christ's life and his ways if we are to be truly enlightened and set free from the darkness of our own hearts. Let it be the most important thing we do, then, to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ.

Thy peace shall be in much patience.

How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.

For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.
