The Blood Of A Nation Ought Never

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.

Oh! How Seldom The Soul Is Silent, In Order That God May Speak.

Nothing Is So Costly As The Pursuit Of A Cure For Imaginary Ills.

Nothing Will Make Us So Charitable And Tender To The Faults Of Others, As, By Self-examination, Thoroughly To Know Our Own.

The Great Point Is To Renounce Your Own Wisdom By Simplicity Of Walk, And To Be Ready To Give Up The Favor, Esteem, And Approbation Of Every One, Whenever The Path In Which God Leads You Passes That Way.
