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. - [Example] All men are frail; but thou shouldst reckon none so frail as thyself. - [Frailty] All the glory and beauty of Christ are manifested within, and there He delights to dwell; His visits there are frequent, His condescension amazing, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing; and the peace that He brings passeth all understanding. - [Christ] Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven. - [Heaven] Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more. - [Want] God deceiveth thee not. - [God] God is able to do more than man can understand. - [God] Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience. - [Conscience] He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver. - [Gifts] If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldst, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking? - [Toleration] If thou desire to profit, read with humility, simplicity, and faithfulness; nor even desire the repute of learning. - [Bible] In judging of others, a man laboreth in vain,--often erreth and easily sinneth; but in judging and examining himself, he always laboreth fruitfully. - [Judgment] It is thy duty oftentimes to do what thou wouldst not; thy duty, too, to leave undone that thou wouldst do. - [Duty] Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are. - [Conscience] No one can obtain from the Pope a dispensation for never dying. [Lat., Nemo impetrare potest a papa bullam numquam moriendi.] - [Death] Of two evils, the less is always to be chosen. - [Evil] Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations. - [Adversity] That learning which thou gettest by thy own observation and experience, is far beyond that which thou gettest by precept; as the knowledge of a traveler exceeds that which is got by reading. - [Knowledge] There is no creature so small and abject, that it representeth not the goodness of God. - [God] Truly at the day of judgment we shall not be examined as to what we have read, but as to what we have done; not as to how well we have spoken, but as to how religiously we have lived. - [Judgment Day] We should have much more peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others. - [Peace] Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ. - [Christ] Without the way, there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living. - [Christianity] Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.] - bk. I, 21 [Habit] Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return. [Lat., Memento semper finis, et quia perditum non redit tempus.] - bk. I, ch. XXV, 11 [Time] Displaying page 1 of 2 for this author: Next >> [1] 2
