“Remain tranquil and prepare to bear still greater trials. All is not lost even though you be troubled oftener or tempted more grievously. You are a man, not God. You are flesh, not an angel. How can you possibly expect to remain always in the same state of virtue when the angels in heaven and the first man in paradise failed to do so? I am He who rescues the afflicted and brings to My divinity those who know their own weakness.” KnowsMenFirstsStillsStatesLostHeavenVirtueGreaterBearsWeaknessAngelFleshTrialsParadiseDivinityRescueTemptedTranquilAngel In Heaven Book:The Imitation of Christ Source: The Imitation of Christ
“I daresay it seems foolish; perhaps all our earthly trials will appear foolish to us after a while; perhaps they seem so now to angels. But we are ourselves, you know, and this is now, not some time to come, a long, long way off. And we are not angels, to be comforted by seeing the ends for which everything is sent.” KnowsWayLongEndsSeemsSeeingAngelFoolishTrialsLong Way Book:Delphi Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)
“Have you ever seen a witness? That's what she called herself. Not a ghost, those don't exist, and not an angel, those do, but a witness." "No." "Ever heard the term?" "Outside of a legal trial, no.” TermHeardAngelTrialsGhostWitness Book:Alice in Zombieland Source: Alice in Zombieland
“Life is so generous a giver but we, judging its gifts by their covering, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp it, and you touch the angel's hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial or a sorrow or a duty, believe me that angel's hand is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty beneath its covering, that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage then to claim, that is all.” BelieveHardHandsEarthLife IsPurposeFunHeavenWonderJudgingDutySorrowAngelClaimsCastsUglyHeavyTrialsWelcomeGenerousRemoveBelieve In MeGiverCoveringWovenSplendorCloaksOvershadowing Author:Giovanni Giocondo
