O Lord, You Know What Is Best

He Has Great Tranquillity Of Heart Who Cares Neither For The Praises Nor The Fault-finding Of Men. He Will Easily Be Content And Pacified, Whose Conscience Is Pure. You Are Not Holier If You Are Praised, Nor The More Worthless If You Are Found Fault With. What You Are, That You Are; Neither By Word Can You Be Made Greater Than What You Are In The Sight Of God.

The Measure Of Every Man’s Virtue Is Best Revealed In Time Of Adversity - Adversity That Does Not Weaken A Man But Rather Shows What He Is.

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

What Thou Art, That Thou Art; That God Knoweth Thee To Be And Thou Canst Be Said To Be No Greater.

Of Two Evils We Must Always Choose The Least.
