“The waters of comfort cannot run up the hills of pride; they fall down into the valleys of humility.”
“Every pain borne is one pain less to bear.”
“The good God, who has sent you your sickness, is the one who has ordained that nothing shall be useless.”
“Sick man, you have a place of usefulness for God, not the old place, but his place–the place which is best in the eyes of the all-wise one.”
“The all-wise God would not do so foolish a thing as to put you where you could be of no use.”
“No state but that of living in impenitence and sin, and away from God, is to be absolutely comfortless.”
“Humble yourself–the lower the better; but always, with Christ before you.”
