“Nevertheless, our constant efforts to lower our estimate of the present world should not lead us to hate life or to be ungrateful toward God. For this life, though it is full of countless miseries, deserves to be reckoned among the divine blessings which should not be despised. Therefore, if we discover nothing of God's goodness in it, we are already guilty of no small ingratitude toward him.” IfsWorldShouldHateEffortDivineBlessingGoodnessDeserveConstantMiseryGuiltyThis LifeNeverthelessDespisedUngratefulIngratitudeHate Life Book:Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life Source: Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life

“Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society.
