“The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.” WellsActionEnergyWaterConsciousnessDutyVictoryComfortDeterminationTrialsLuxuryAccomplishedMidstMagnificentCalmnessReposeTempestFelicity Book:Modern Painters Source: Modern Painters

“It is the easiest thing in the world for us to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark, and through the dark. Let us be assured of this, that if the lesson and the rod are of His appointing, and that His all-wise love has engineered the deep tunnel of trial on the heavenward road, He will never desert us during the discipline. The vital thing for us is not to deny and desert Him.” IfsWorldRealDarkPathWiseVictoryDisciplineLessonsDenyTrialsCommandDesertSunshineTrust In GodAssuredTunnelsWise LoveReal Victory Author:Theodore L.

“The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility. The wrongs, which we seek to condemn and punish, have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated.
