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

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

If thou may not continually gather thyself together, do it sometime at least once a day, morning or evening.

Anyone who is not totally dead to himself will soon find that he is tempted and overcome by piddling and frivolous things. Whoever is weak in spirit, given to the flesh and inclined to sensual things can, but only with great difficulty, drag himself away from his earthly desires. Therefore he is often gloomy and sad when he is trying to pull himself away from them, and easily gives way to anger should someone attempt to oppose him.

Love makes everything that is heavy light.

He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.

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