Confidence Is The Illusion Born Of Accidental

Anyone Who Is Not Totally Dead To Himself Will Soon Find That He Is Tempted And Overcome By Piddling And Frivolous Things. Whoever Is Weak In Spirit, Given To The Flesh And Inclined To Sensual Things Can, But Only With Great Difficulty, Drag Himself Away From His Earthly Desires. Therefore He Is Often Gloomy And Sad When He Is Trying To Pull Himself Away From Them, And Easily Gives Way To Anger Should Someone Attempt To Oppose Him.

Scruples, Temptations, And Fears, And Cutting Perplexities Of The Heart, Are Often The Lot Of The Most Excellent Persons.

Oh, How Swiftly The Glory Of The World Passes Away!

Do Not Let Your Peace Depend On What People Say Of You... True Peace And Joy Is To Be Found In [jesus] Alone.

Few Spirits Are Made Better By The Pain And Languor Of Sickness; As Few Great Pilgrims Become Eminent Saints.
