No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.

Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.

For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.

A wise and good man will turn examples of all sorts to his own advantage. The good he will make his patterns, and strive to equal or excel them. The bad he will by all means avoid.

He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.
