We Do Not Very Often Come Across Opportunities For Exercising Strength, Magnanimity, Or Magnificence; But Gentleness, Temperance, Modesty, And Humility, Are Graces Which Ought To Colour Everything We Do. There May Be Virtues Of A More Exalted Mould, But... These Are The Most Continually Called For In Daily Life.

We Do Not Very Often Come Across

We Do Not Very Often Come Across Opportunities For Exercising Strength, Magnanimity, Or Magnificence; But Gentleness, Temperance, Modesty, And Humility, Are Graces Which Ought To Colour Everything We Do. There May Be Virtues Of A More Exalted Mould, But... These Are The Most Continually Called For In Daily Life.

Do Not Scrutinize So Closely Whether You Are Doing Much Or Little, Ill Or Well, So Long As What You Do Is Not Sinful And That You Are Heartily Seeking To Do Everything For God. Try As Far As You Can To Do Everything Well, But When It Is Done, Do Not Think About It. Try, Rather, To Think Of What Is To Be Done Next. Go On Simply In The Lord's Way, And Do Not Torment Yourself. We Ought To Hate Our Faults, But With A Quiet, Calm Hatred; Not Pettishly And Anxiously.
