"My times are in Thy hand." -PS. 31. 15.
"Every purpose of the Lord shall be performed." -JER. 51. 29.
"I AM so glad! It is such rest to know
That Thou hast ordered and appointed all,
And wilt yet ordered and appointed all,
And wilt ye order and appoint my lot.
For though so much I cannot understand,
And would not choose, has been, and yet may be,
Thou choosest, Thou performest, THOU, my Lord,
This is enough for me.
F. R. HAVERGAL
'WE mustn't be in a hurry to fix and choose our own lot; we must wait to be guided. We are led on, like the little children, by a way that we know not. It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing to our own souls; as if we could choose for ourselves where we shall find the fullness of the Divine Presence, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found, in loving obedience.'
GEORGE ELIOT
EVERYWHERE and at all time it is in thy power piously to acquiesce in thy present condition, and to behave justly to those who are about thee.
MARCUS ANTONINUS
