And When He Is Out Of Sight,

The Humble Live In Continuous Peace, While In The Hearts Of The Proud Are Envy And Frequent Anger.

Some People Are Tempted Most Strongly At The Beginning Of Their Spiritual Life, Others Near The End. Some Are Troubled All Their Lives. Still Others Receive Only Light Temptation. Such Things Are Decided By God, And We Can Trust His Wisdom.

A Life Without Purpose Is A Languid, Drifting Thing; Every Day We Ought To Review Our Purpose, Saying To Ourselves: This Day Let Me Make A Sound Beginning, For What We Have Hitherto Done Is Naught!

It Carries A Burden Which Is No Burden; It Will Not Be Kept Back By Anything Low And Mean; It Desires To Be Free From All Wordly Affections, And Not To Be Entangled By Any Outward Prosperity, Or By Any Adversity Subdued.

It Is No Little Wisdom For You To Keep Yourself In Silence And In Good Peace When Evil Words Are Spoken To You, And To Turn Your Heart To God And Not To Be Troubled With The Judgment Of Others.
