"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew theeir strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." -ISA. xl. 30, 31.
LORD, with what courage and delight
I do each thing,
When Thy least breath sustains my wing!
I shine and move
Like those above
And, with much gladness
Quitting sadness,
Make me fair days of every night.
-H. VAUGHAN
MAN, by living wholly in submiission to the Divine Influence, becomes surrounded with, and creates for himself, internal pleasures infinitely greater than any he can otherwise attain to - a state of heavenly Beatitude.
-J. P. GREAVES
BY persisiting in a habit of self-denial, we shall, beyond what I can express, increase the inward powers of the mind, and shall produce that cheerfulness and greatness of spirit as will fit us for all good purposes; and shall not have lost pleasure, but changed it; the soul being then filled with its own intrinsic pleasures.
-HENRY MORE
