Bear all and do nothing;Hear all and say nothing;Give all and take nothing;Serve all and be nothing.
Man's desires and pitfalls are placed there so that I may do My work. When you give up totally, then the temptations will fade. I will never give up on you. Every slip will become harder and harder to bear and less easy to remedy.
Those who seek to know God must steel themselves to bear insult, injury and torture, with a smile.
Those who seek to acquire steadiness of faith must first acquire the strength to bear grief and pain, insult and injury. The succession of joy and grief must help confirm the faith and make it immovable. That alone can evidence true devotion.
If you are wealthy, be humble. Plants bend when they bear fruit.
