"We are in this life as it were in another man's house... In Heaven is our home, in the World is our Inn."

"When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths men miscall their lives."

"Pray diligently, study something honorable, live peacefully, serve honestly, and remain unmoved in your faith and confessing. If you do this, you too will one day die and depart from this world willingly, joyfully, and blessedly. Amen."

"Through waves and clouds and storms His power will clear the way; wait for His time; the darkest night shall end in brightest day."

"All my life I still have found, and I will forget it never; every sorrow hath its bound, and no cross endures forever."

"Commit thou all thy griefs and ways into His hands."

"Thou everywhere hast sway, and all things serve Thy might, Thy every act pure blessing is Thy path unsullied light."
