Little Opportunities Should Be Improved.

There Is Nothing That Is More Dangerous To Your Own Salvation, More Unworthy Of God And More Harmful To Your Own Happiness, Than That You Should Be Content To Remain As You Are.

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.

We May Be Sure That It Is The Love Of God Only That Can Make Us Come Out Of Self. If His Powerful Hand Did Not Sustain Us, We Should Not Know How To Take The First Step In That Direction.

There Is A Set Of Religious, Or Rather Moral, Writings Which Teach That Virtue Is The Certain Road To Happiness, And Vice To Misery In This World. A Very Wholesome And Comfortable Doctrine, And To Which We Have But One Objection, Namely, That It Is Not True.

Let Gratitude For The Past Inspire Us With Trust For The Future.
