Is A Man One Whit The Better

No One Can Obtain From The Pope A Dispensation For Never Dying. [lat., Nemo Impetrare Potest A Papa Bullam Numquam Moriendi.]

Let Not Therefore Thy Heart Be Troubled, Neither Let It Fear. Trust In Me, And Put Thy Confidence In My Mercy. When Thou Thinkest Thyself Farthest Off From Me, Oftentimes I Am Nearest Unto Thee. When Thou Countest Almost All To Be Lost, Then Oftentimes The Greatest Gain Of Reward Is Close At Hand. All Is Not Lost, When Any Thing Falleth Out Contrary. Thou Oughtest Not To Judge According To Present Feeling; Nor So To Take Any Grief, Or Give Thyself Over To It.

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

The Good Devout Man First Makes Inner Preparation For The Actions He Has Later To Perform. His Outward Actions Do Not Draw Him Into Lust And Vice; Rather It Is He Who Bends Them Into The Shape Of Reason And Right Judgement. Who Has A Stiffer Battle To Fight Than The Man Who Is Striving To Conquer Himself.

Purity And Simplicity Are The Two Wings With Which Man Soars Above The Earth And All Temporary Nature.
