Do What Lieth In Thy Power, And

If You Bear The Cross Unwillingly, You Make It A Burden, And Load Yourself More Heavily; But You Must Bear It.

And If Thy Heart Be Straight With God Then Every Creature Shall Be To Thee A Mirror Of Life And A Book Of Holy Doctrine For There Is No Creature So Little Or So Despised But That Sheweth And Representeth The Goodness Of God.

Old Custom Is Hard To Break And Scarce Any Man Will Be Led Otherwise Than Seemeth Good Unto Himself.

Every Man Naturally Desires Knowledge; But What Good Is Knowledge Without Fear Of God? Indeed A Humble Rustic Who Serves God Is Better Than A Proud Intellectual Who Neglects His Soul To Study The Course Of The Stars.

If You Cannot Mould Yourself Entirely As You Would Wish, How Can You Expect Other People To Be Entirely To Your Liking?
