Keep each trial outside your heart, as best you can, and if it has knocked you down, don't let it keep you down nor keep you long under its power. If you cannot bear it cheerfully at least bear it patiently. (170).
My son, you patience and humility in times of adversity are more pleasing to ME than your great consolations and devotion during times of prosperity (169).
It is in disordered loves and empty fears that all disquiet of heart and distraction of mind have their orgin. (120).
Many think this a hard saying, "Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus", but it will be much harder to hear these final words, "Depart from me, cursed one, into the everlasting fire."
