The Better You Understand Yourself The Less

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.

Let Not Therefore Thy Heart Be Troubled, Neither Let It Fear. Trust In Me, And Put Thy Confidence In My Mercy. When Thou Thinkest Thyself Farthest Off From Me, Oftentimes I Am Nearest Unto Thee. When Thou Countest Almost All To Be Lost, Then Oftentimes The Greatest Gain Of Reward Is Close At Hand. All Is Not Lost, When Any Thing Falleth Out Contrary. Thou Oughtest Not To Judge According To Present Feeling; Nor So To Take Any Grief, Or Give Thyself Over To It.

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

Permit No Hour To Go By Without It Due Improvement.

Restrain An Inordinate Desire For Knowledge, In Which Is Found Much Anxiety And Deception. Learned Men Always Wish To Appear So, And Desire Recognition Of Their Wisdom. But There Are Many Matters, Knowledge Of Which Brings Little Or No Advantage To The Soul.
