Remember Always Your End, And That Lost

One Who Views Thing As They Are In Reality, And Not As They Are Said Or Thought To Be, Is Truly Wise, Taught By God Rather Than By Other Persons

If You Cannot Mould Yourself Entirely As You Would Wish, How Can You Expect Other People To Be Entirely To Your Liking?

It Is Vanity To Desire A Long Life And To Take No Heed Of A Good Life.

Jesus Has Many Lovers Of His Kingdom Of Heaven, But He Has Few Bearers Of His Cross. Many Desire His Consolation, But Few Desire His Tribulation. He Finds Many Comrades In Eating And Drinking, But He Finds Few Hands Who Will Be With Him In His Abstinence And Fastingbut Those Who Love Jesus Purely For Himself, And Not For Their Own Profit Or Convenience, Bless Him As Heartily In Temptation And Tribulation And In All Other Adversities As They Do In Time Of Consolation. And If He Never Sent Them Consolation, They Would Still Bless And Praise Him.

Jesus Has Many Who Love The Kingdom Of God, But Few Who Bear A Cross. He Has Many Who Desire His Comfort, But Few Who Desire His Suffering. All Want To Rejoice With Him, But Few Are Willing To Suffer For Him. He Writes; There Are Many Who Admire His Miracles, But There Are Few Who Follow In The Humiliation Of The Cross.
