A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark.
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
After many years of great mercy, after tasting of the powers of the world to come, we still are so weak, so foolish; but, oh! when we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.
