Without Labor There Is No Rest, Nor

For A Small Reward, A Man Will Hurry Away On A Long Journey; While For Eternal Life, Many Will Hardly Take A Single Step.

It Is Vanity To Desire A Long Life And To Take No Heed Of A Good Life.

Jesus Has Many Who Love The Kingdom Of God, But Few Who Bear A Cross. He Has Many Who Desire His Comfort, But Few Who Desire His Suffering. All Want To Rejoice With Him, But Few Are Willing To Suffer For Him. He Writes; There Are Many Who Admire His Miracles, But There Are Few Who Follow In The Humiliation Of The Cross.

All Earthly Joy Begins Pleasantly, But At The End It Gnaws And Kills.

Why Seekest Thou Rest, Since Thou Art Born To Labor? [lat., Cur Quaeris Quietem, Quam Natus Sis Ad Laborem?]
