Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.
Seek not to know who said this or that, but take note of what has been said.
All earthly joy begins pleasantly, but at the end it gnaws and kills.
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.
It thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? Dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. Seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in God alone.
