“Let not thy divining heartForethink me any ill;Destiny may take thy part,And may thy fears fulfill.”

“Thy sins and hairs may no man equal call,for as thy sins increase, thy hairs do fall.”

“Thy books should, like thy friends, not many be/Yet such wherein men may thy judgment see.”

“Thou may be sure that he who will tell thee of thy faults is thy friend, for he ventures thy dislike and doth hazard thy hatred.”

“Grant that I may radiate Thy Light, Thy Love,Thy Healing, Thy Joy, and Thy Peaceto all those around meand all those in my thoughtsthis day and ever more.”

“May I consent to and delight in thy law after the inner man, never complain over the strictness of thy demands, but mourn over my want of conformity to them; never question thy commandments, but esteem them to be right. By thy spirit within me, may my practice spring from principle, and my dispositions be conformable with duty.”
