Life without freedom is like a body without a soul, and freedom without thought is like a confused spirit.

Hatred never ceases through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.
Things that are real are given and received in silence. God has been everlastingly working in silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His infinite silence.
Be determined. The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree.
