“Ah! Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?-Come, children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.”

“Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?”

“Let us play hide and seek in a mountain which is like a women's back.”

“We are the windows through which our children first see the world. Let us be conscious of the view.”

“Let us spend our leisure with our books, which will take our minds off these troubles, and will teach us to despise what many people desire.”

“It is a sweet thing that we serve a dissatisfied God who has destinations in mind for us that we would never choose for ourselves. It really is a good thing that he will not be satisfied until he has gotten us exactly where he created us and re-created us to be. Most of us would have been satisfied to stay at home, and many of us would have quit the journey long before it was completed. But our heavenly Father won't give up until each one of his children has completed the journey.”
