When I am angry, I pray God to swing our globe into the fiery sun and prevent the sorrows of the not-yet-born: but when I am content, I want to lie forever in the shade, till I become a shade myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.
If I wish to compose or write or pray or preach well, I must be angry. Then all the blood in my veins is stirred, and my understanding is sharpened.
When anyone arouses my anger, I will immediately pray for them and regain my peace of soul.
Seek happiness for its own sake, and you will not find it; seek for duty, and happiness will follow as the shadow comes with the sunshine.
At one point, I was just perceived as only being angry, but now I'm being perceived as angry, peaceful, and spiritual.
But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul; and I felt then that I should survive to exhibit what I shall soon cease to be - a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others and intolerable to myself.
Even so, one step from my grave, I believe that cruelty, spite, The powers of darkness will in time, Be crushed by the spirit of light.
The cry of the oppressed has entered not only into my ears, but into my soul, so that while I live, I cannot hold my peace.
Every day you must arise and say to your heart, I have suffered enough and now I must live because the light of the sun must not be wasted, it must not be lost without an eye to appreciate it.
Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.
