He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
