One temptation or sorrow passeth, and another cometh; and always we shall have somewhat to suffer
By flight alone we cannot overcome, but by endurance and true humility we are made stronger than all our enemies.
If thou bear it unwillingly, thou makest a burden for thyself and greatly increaseth thy load, and yet thou must bear it.
This it must be; and there is no means of escaping from tribulation and sorrow, except to bear them patiently.
Little by little, through patience and long-suffering, thou shalt conquer by the help of God, rather than by violence and thine own strength of will.
Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every heavy burden light, and equaliseth every inequality.
