Courage Is A Virtue Only So Far

This Poor World, The Object Of So Much Insane Attachment, We Are About To Leave; It Is But Misery, Vanity, And Folly; A Phantom--the Very Fashion Of Which "passeth Away.

As The Reflections Of Our Pride Upon Our Defects Are Bitter, Disheartening, And Vexatious, So The Return Of The Soul Towards God Is Peaceful And Sustained By Confidence. You Will Find By Experience How Much More Your Progress Will Be Aided By This Simple, Peaceful Turning Towards God, Than By All Your Chagrin And Spite At .the Faults That Exist In You.

The Greatest Of All Crosses Is Self. If We Die In Part Every Day, We Shall Have But Little To Do On The Last. These Little Daily Deaths Will Destroy The Power Of The Final Dying.

The Wind Of God Is Always Blowing... But You Must Hoist Your Sail.

If God Bores You, Tell Him That He Bores You, That You Prefer The Vilest Amusements To His Presence, That You Only Feel At Your Ease When You Are Far From Him.
