Notable quotes part 2

Austrian Psychiatrist Victor Frankl learned from concentration camp:
that every freedom can be denied a man except the freedom to choose his attitude, and that suffering is not an obstacle to happiness but the necessary means to it.

"Don't dig up in doubt, what you planted in faith"

"Believing prayer must be the practice of a Christian's whole life"

"The Lord taught me that the preparation for marriage is not so much a matter of finding the right person as it is becoming the right person."

"We learn, to love what He commands and to desire nothing that He does not promise."

"Jesus, Thou joy of loving hearts,
Thou fount of life, Thou light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts,
We turn to Thee unfulfilled again"

Bernard Clairvaux


Worst fears that materialize are abyss and mass of mercies, appointed and assigned by a loving Father who sees the end from the beginning. The more we learn to fear God, the less we fear anything else. The fear of the Lord is the cure for boredom. It goes with living in the presence of God. It is a lamp in a dark place; it consumes malice and wrong thoughts. It is according to Proverbs, Life. It is the fruit of humility and first step to wisdom.
