First Keep Peace With Yourself, Then You

Count Not Thyself To Have Found True Peace, If Thou Hast Felt No Grief; Nor That Then All Is Well If Thou Hast No Adversary; Nor That This Is Perfect, If All Things Fall Out According To Thy Desire.

Jesus Has Many Who Love The Kingdom Of God, But Few Who Bear A Cross. He Has Many Who Desire His Comfort, But Few Who Desire His Suffering. All Want To Rejoice With Him, But Few Are Willing To Suffer For Him. He Writes; There Are Many Who Admire His Miracles, But There Are Few Who Follow In The Humiliation Of The Cross.

May Not Be Your Peace In The Mouth Of The Men; Since No Matter If They Thing Good Or Bad About You, You Should Not Be A Different Man Because Of That.

The Intention Which Is Fixed On God As Its Only End Will Keep People Steady In Their Purposes, And Deliver Them From Being The Joke And Scorn Of Fortune.

He Is Truly Great That Is Little In Himself, And That Maketh No Account Of Any Height Of Honors.
