Set Not Thyself To Attain Much Rest,

A Pure, Sincere, And Stable Spirit Is Not Distracted Though It Be Employed In Many Works; For That It Works All To The Honor Of God, And Inwardly Being Still And Quiet, Seeks Not Itself In Any Thing It Doth.

The More The Flesh Is Wasted By Affliction, So Much More Is The Spirit Strengthened By Inward Grace.

The Devil Does Not Tempt Unbelievers And Sinners Who Are Already His Own.

Therefore, A Man Ought To Root Himself So Firmly In God That He Will Not Need The Consolations Of Men.

Praise Adds Nothing To Your Holiness, Nor Does Blame Take Anything From It. You Are What You Are, And You Cannot Be Said To Be Better Than You Are In God's Sight.
