Let Us Endeavor To Commence Every Enterprise

True Prayer Is Only Another Name For The Love Of God. Its Excellence Does Not Consist In The Multitude Of Our Words; For Our Father Knoweth What Things We Have Need Of Before We Ask Him. The True Prayer Is That Of The Heart, And The Heart Prays Only For What It Desires. To Pray, Then Is To Desire -- But To Desire What God Would Have Us Desire. He Who Asks What He Does Not From The Bottom Of His Heart Desire, Is Mistaken In Thinking That He Prays.

Be Content With Doing Calmly The Little Which Depends Upon Yourself, And Let All Else Be To You As If It Were Not.

Do Not Make Best Friends With A Melancholy Sad Soul. They Always Are Heavily Loaded, And You Must Bear Half.

Little Opportunities Should Be Improved.

This Is The Love That Does All Things; That Brings To Pass Even The Evils We Suffer; So Shaping Them That They Are But Instruments Of Preparing The Good Which, As Yet, Has Not Arrived.
