Make Sickness Itself A Prayer.

Be Neat, Philothea; Let Nothing Be Negligent About You. It Is A Kind Of Contempt Of Those With Whom We Converse, To Frequent Their Company In Uncomely Apparel; But, At The Same Time, Avoid All Affectation, Vanity, Curiosity, Or Levity In Your Dress. Keep Yourself Always, As Much As Possible, On The Side Of Plainness And Modesty, Which, Without Doubt, Is The Greatest Ornament Of Beauty, And The Best Excuse For The Want Of It.

Obedience Is A Consecration Of The Heart, Chastity Of The Body, And Poverty Of All Worldly Goods To The Love And Service Of God. Blessed Indeed Are The Obedient, For God Will Never Permit Them To Go Astray.

Though Perseverance Does Not Come From Our Power, Yet It Comes Within Our Power.

If You Would Fall Into Any Extreme, Let It Be On The Side Of Gentleness. The Human Mind Is So Constructed That It Resists Rigor, And Yields To Softness.

By Turning Your Eyes On God In Meditation, Your Whole Soul Will Be Filled With God. Begin All Your Prayers In The Presence Of God.
