Commune With Your Own Heart Upon Your

The Soul, When Accustomed To Superfluous Things, Acquires A Strong Habit Of Desiring Things Which Are Neither Necessary For The Preservation Of The Individual Nor For That Of The Species. This Desire Is Without Limit, Whilst Those Which Are Necessary Are Few In Number And Restricted Within Certain Limits; But What Is Superfluous Is Without End.

You Will See The Mercy Of God Toward His Creatures, How He Has Provided That Which Is Required, In Proper Proportions, And Treated All Individual Beings Of The Same Species With Perfect Equality. ...for It Is An Act Of Great And Perfect Goodness That He Gave Us Existence; And The Creation Of The Controlling Faculty In Animals Is A Proof Of His Mercy Towards Them, As Has Been Shown By Us.

Contrast The Experience With Something Worse And You Cannot Help Feeling Happy And Grateful Because... The Change From Trouble To Comfort Gives Us More Pleasure Than Uninterrupted Comfort Does.

The Risk Of A Wrong Decision Is Preferable To The Terror Of Indecision.

Anticipate Charity By Preventing Poverty.
