It Is Futile To Wish

He That Seeks Here Any Other Thing But Simply God And The Salvation Of His Soul, Will Find Nothing But Trouble And Sorrow.

O Lord, Self-renunciation Is Not The Work Of One Day, Nor Children's Sport; Yea, Rather In This Word Is Included All Perfection.

God Deceiveth Thee Not.

Trust Not To Your Feelings For Whatever They Might Be Now, They Will Quickly Be Changed Towards Some Other Thing.

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.
