It Is Easier Not To

Christ Willed To Suffer And Be Despised And Do You Dare Complain Of The Same? Christ Had Adversaries And Backbiters; And Do You Wish To Have All Men Your Friends And Benefactors? When Shall Your Patience Attain Her Crown If No Adversity Befalls You? If You Are Willing To Suffer Naught That Is Against You, How Will You Be The Friend Of Christ?

He Who Knows Himself Well Is Mean And Abject In His Own Sight, And Takes No Delight In The Vain Praise Of Men.

Love Is Swift, Sincere, Pious, Joyful, Generous, Strong, Patient, Faithful, Prudent, Long-suffering, Courageous, And Never Seeking Its Own; For Wheresoever A Person Seeketh His Own, There He Falleth From Love.

Cling, Therefore, To Jesus In Life And Death; Trust Yourself To The Glory Of Him Who Alone Can Help You When All Others Fail.

If You Can Win Complete Mastery Over Self, You Will Easily Master All Else. To Triumph Over Self Is The Perfect Victory.
