Consider All The Past As Nothing, And

The Merit Of The Cross Does Not Consist In Its Heaviness, But In The Manner In Which We Carry It. I Would Even Say That It Is Sometimes More Virtuous To Carry A Cross Of Straw Than A Heavy Cross Because We Have To Be More Attentive For Fear Of Losing It.

There Is Nothing As Strong As Tenderness, And Nothing As Tender As True Strength.

We Do Not Very Often Come Across Opportunities For Exercising Strength, Magnanimity, Or Magnificence; But Gentleness, Temperance, Modesty, And Humility, Are Graces Which Ought To Colour Everything We Do. There May Be Virtues Of A More Exalted Mould, But... These Are The Most Continually Called For In Daily Life.

A Heart-memory Is Better Than A Mere Head-memory. Better To Carry Away A Little Of The Love Of Christ In Our Souls, Than If We Were Able To Repeat Every Word Of Every Sermon We Ever Heard.

Every Morning Prepare Your Soul For A Tranquil Day.
