fervor s better than sleek apathy and.
Indifference.
They are making the least out of
life who are ever thinking of what they
can make.
He who is too busy to listen to the
voice of a child is likely to miss the
voice of his lord.
The feet of men are riot kept In the
cathof right by the light of brilliant
thoughts alone.
The heretic hunter thinks that the
cutting of many thistles will create at
least a few roses.
How would the men who are going
to heaven on thelrjwlves' religion look.
