You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
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.
