Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.

Though weary, it is not tired: though pressed it is not straightened; though alarmed, it is not confounded; but as a living flame it forces itself upwards and securely passes through all.

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better in heaven and earth; because love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.

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

Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.

We should have much more peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others.
