Good Taste Rejects Excessive Nicety.

When Kings Interfere In Matters Of Religion, They Enslave Instead Of Protecting It.

All Earthly Delights Are Sweeter In Expectation Than In Enjoyment; But All Spiritual Pleasures More In Fruition Than In Expectation.

If The Crowns Of All The Kingdoms Of The Empire Were Laid Down At My Feet In Exchange For My Books And My Love Of Reading I Would Spurn Them All.

Commit Yourself Then To God! He Will Be Your Guide. He Himself Will Travel With You, As We Are Told He Did With The Israelites, To Bring Them Step By Step Across The Desert To The Promised Land. Ah! What Will Be Your Blessedness, If You Will But Surrender Yourself Into The Hands Of God, Permitting Him To Do Whatever He Will, Not According To Your Desires, But According To His Own Good Pleasure?

If We Had Strength And Faith Enough To Trust Ourselves Entirely To God; And Follow Him Simply Wherever He Should Lead Us, We Should Have No Need Of Any Great Effort Of Mind To Reach Perfection.
