The Passion Of Acquiring Riches In Order

Listen Less To Your Own Thoughts And More To God's Thoughts.

How Different The Peace Of God From That Of The World! It Calms The Passions, Preserves The Purity Of The Conscience, Is Inseparable From Righteousness, Unites Us To God And Strengthens Us Against Temptations. The Peace Of The Soul Consists In An Absolute Resignation To The Will Of God.

The Youth Who, Like A Woman, Loves To Adorn His Person, Has Renounced All Claim To Wisdom And To Glory; Glory Is Due To Those Only Who Dare To Associate With Pain, And Have Trampled Pleasure Under Their Feet.

Had We Not Faults Of Our Own, We Should Take Less Pleasure In Complaining Of Others.

I Would Have Every Minister Of The Gospel Address His Audience With The Zeal Of A Friend, With The Generous Energy Of A Father, And With The Exuberant Affection Of A Mother.
