“…a man should say to his soul every morning, "God has given thee twenty-four treasures; take heed lest thou lose anyone of them, for thou wilt not be able to endure the regret that will follow such loss.”
“And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not, unless thou know this mystery: that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee”
“Thou art my father, thou my author, thou my being gav'st me; whom should I obey but thee, whom follow?”
“Wilt thou, then, my soul, never be good and simple and one and naked, more manifest than the body which surrounds thee?”
“Peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes. Thy friends do stand by thee...' -Jesus the Christ”
“If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchangeAnd be all to me?”
