Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.
You can't expect to make all this money and not go through problems. You can't expect God to give you everything you want without taking something away.
I admit I can't shake the idea that there is virtue in suffering, that there is a sort of psychic economy, whereby if you embrace success, happiness and comfort, these things have to be paid for.
If there is no hell, a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses.
I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.
To try to fashion something from suffering, to relish our triumphs, and to endure defeats without resentment: all that is compatible with the faith of a heretic.
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money.
Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing.
There is nothing can pay one for that invaluable ignorance which is the companion of youth, those sanguine groundless hopes, and that lively vanity which makes all the happiness of life.
The price that one pays for refusing to act on the truth as one sees it, is to be led to believe untruth to avoid guilt.
