Courage Does Not Consist In Calculation, But

There Is In Stillness Oft A Magic Power To Calm The Breast When Struggling Passions Lower, Touched By Its Influence, In The Soul Arise Diviner Feelings, Kindred With The Skies.

A Man Would Do Nothing If He Waited Until He Could Do It So Well That No One Could Find Fault.

To Take Up The Cross Of Christ Is No Great Action Done Once For All; It Consists In The Continual Practice Of Small Duties Which Are Distasteful To Us.

Knowledge Is One Thing, Virtue Is Another.

God Knows What Is My Greatest Happiness, But I Do Not. There Is No Rule About What Is Happy And Good; What Suits One Would Not Suit Another. And The Ways By Which Perfection Is Reached Vary Very Much; The Medicines Necessary For Our Souls Are Very Different From Each Other. Thus God Leads Us By Strange Ways; We Know He Wills Our Happiness, But We Neither Know What Our Happiness Is, Nor The Way. We Are Blind; Left To Ourselves We Should Take The Wrong Way; We Must Leave It To Him.
