“Here saw I a great oneing betwixt Christ and us, to mine understanding: for when He was in pain, we were in pain.”

God is nearer to us than our own spirit.

The fruit and the purpose of prayer is to be oned with and like God in all things.

All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.

Because of the Shewing I am not good but if I love God the better: and in as much as ye love God the better, it is more to you than to me.

When we, by the working of mercy and grace, be made meek and mild, we are fully safe; suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath.

God is our clothing, that wraps, clasps and encloses us so as to never leave us.

Cheerful givers do not count the cost of what they give. Their hearts are set on pleasing and cheering the person to whom the gift is given.

The love that made Him to suffer passeth as far all His pains as Heaven is above Earth.

He shall appear suddenly and blissfully to all that love Him.

The ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love.

It is most impossible that we should beseech mercy and grace, and not have it.

Pray, even if you feel nothing, see nothing. For when you are dry, empty, sick or weak, at such a time is your prayer most pleasing to God, even though you may find little joy in it. This is true of all believing prayer.

Every act of kindness and compassion done by any man for his fellow Christian is done by Christ working within him.

He that is highest and worthiest was most fully made-nought and most utterly despised.

This is our Lord’s will… that our prayer and our trust be, alike, large.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.

I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one’s self-respect.

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

The best way forward is to give more people everywhere greater power to build their own destinies.

Learning gives creativity. Creativity leads to thinking. Thinking provides knowledge. Knowledge makes you great.

There is one difference between a long life & a great dinner; in the dinner, the sweet things come last.

There is one difference between a long life & a great dinner; in the dinner, the sweet things come last.

Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.
