The More We Pay For Any Truth,

We Have All Of Us Free Access To All That Is Great, And Good, And Happy, And Carry Within Ourselves A Key To All The Treasures That Heaven Has To Bestow Upon Us. We Starve In The Midst Of Plenty, Groan Under Infirmities, With The Remedy In Our Own Hand; Live And Die Without Knowing And Feeling Anything Of The One Only God, Whilst We Have It In Our Power To Know And Enjoy It In As Great A Reality As We Know And Feel The Power Of This World Over Us; For Heaven Is As Near To Our Souls As This World Is To Our Bodies; And We Are Created, We Are Redeemed, To Have Our Conversation In It.

You Have No Questions To Ask Of Any Body, No New Way That You Need Inquire After; No Oracle That You Need To Consult; For Whilst You Shut Yourself Up In Patience, Meekness, Humility, And Resignation To God, You Are In The Very Arms Of Christ, Your Heart Is His Dwelling-place, And He Lives And Works In You.

We Must Alter Our Lives In Order To Alter Our Hearts, For It Is Impossible To Live One Way And Pray Another.

Ask What Time Is, It Is Nothing Else But Something Of Eternal Duration Become Finite, Measurable And Transitory.

If Anyone Would Tell You The Shortest, Surest Way To All Happiness And All Perfection, He Must Tell You To Make A Rule To Yourself To Thank And Praise God For Everything That Happens To You.
