Faith

"O, weary angels, don’t look at me with those eyes. If that is your state then what of our cries?What can I tell you of goodness that you don’t already know?What can I tell you of faith,of hope and lovethat you yourselves bestow?O, angels, don’t pluck another feather,this isn’t the sky, it’s just the weather. Please, angels, try. We are one all together. Look up and listen, I’ll say it once and then put down my pen:We are sorry for our ignoranceand even though we are worldly,it might happen again. We are sorry for your wearinessand even though you aren’t worldly,we are no more than human."

"Though dead is promised to me, when will I slumber, deep? Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? Are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

"It is not enough to be a man."

"Today, death is your opponent."

"Death is not considerate, or fair."

"Death does not wait for you to be ready."

"To conquer fear, you must become fear - you must bask in the fear of the BOOK... and men fear most what they cannot see- The Power of the Book is spiritual."

"To conquer fear, you must become fear."

"The thing that had been, it is that which shall be; And that which is done is that which shall be done."

"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

"You are created invisible spiritually, and invisibility is largely a matter of patience."

"Patience! It is not how quickly you run, but how slowly."

"There is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, 'See, this is new' it had been already of old time, which was before us."

"All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing."

"Purity. Serenity... Solitude: What you ought to uphold. But the important thing is whether you believe it."
