Jesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.

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.

Renounce all things, and thou shalt find all things; give up thy lust, and thou shalt find rest.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Permit no hour to go by without it due improvement.

What thou art, that thou art.

Of two evils, the lesser must always be chosen De duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum
