The sins of the temper produce the worst results at once in our neighbour and in ourselves.

Do not look within to see whether your feelings are right;  but look without to see what you are doing for others;

WE are wrong always when we think too much of what we think or are.

TO all true modesty the necessary business is not in-look, but out-look, and especially up-look…

THE Pharisees wanted not to serve God and man, but to gratify the petty pride of having done exactly what they had to do….

He prayeth well who loveth well, 

Both man, and bird and beast.

He prayeth best, who loveth best 

All things both great and small;

For the dear God who loveth us, 

He made and loveth all.

The more time we spend in [God’s] presence, seeking His face and communing with Him in prayer, the more surely will godly graces and tempers spring up within us and bear fruit in our lives.
