Let Gratitude For The Past Inspire Us

Pure Love Is In The Will Alone; It Is No Sentimental Love, For The Imagination Has No Part In It; It Loves, If We May So Express It, Without Feeling, As Faith Believes Without Seeing.

God, Who Is Liberal In All His Other Gifts, Shows Us, By The Wise Economy Of His Providence, How Circumspect We Ought To Be In The Management Of Our Time, For He Never Gives Us Two Moments Together.

Before Putting Yourself In Peril, It Is Necessary To Foresee And Fear It; But When One Is There, Nothing Remains But To Despise It.

If We Were Faultless, We Should Not Be So Much Annoyed By The Defects Of Those With Whom We Associate. If We Were To Acknowledge Honestly That We Have Not Virtue Enough To Bear Patiently With Our Neighbor's Weaknesses, We Should Show Our Own Imperfection, And This Alarms Our Vanity.

The Presence Of God Calms The Soul, And Gives It Quiet And Repose.
