Man proposes, but God disposes. — Thomas Kempis

How fast passes away the glory of this world.

At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken, but how holily we have lived.

“My Son, pay diligent heed to the motions of Nature and of Grace, because they move in a very contrary and subtle manner, and are hardly distinguished save by a spiritual and inwardly enlightened man. All men indeed seek good, and make pretence of something good in all that they say or do; and thus under the appearance of good many are deceived.
