Seek Not To Know Who Said This

Christ Willed To Suffer And Be Despised And Do You Dare Complain Of The Same? Christ Had Adversaries And Backbiters; And Do You Wish To Have All Men Your Friends And Benefactors? When Shall Your Patience Attain Her Crown If No Adversity Befalls You? If You Are Willing To Suffer Naught That Is Against You, How Will You Be The Friend Of Christ?

He Does Much Who Loves God Much, And He Does Much Who Does His Deed Well, And He Does His Deed Well Who Does It Rather For The Common Good Than For His Own Will.

He That Seeks Here Any Other Thing But Simply God And The Salvation Of His Soul, Will Find Nothing But Trouble And Sorrow.

No One Is So Good That He Is Immune From Temptation. We Will Never Be Entirely Free From It. . . . There Is No Order So Holy, No Place So Secret Where There Will Be No Temptation.

The Reflections On A Day Well Spent Furnish Us With Joys More Pleasing Than Ten Thousand Triumphs.
