"Fast from bitterness - feast onvirtue forgiveness. Fast from self-concern - feast on compassion for others. Fast from personal anxiety - feast on eternal truth. Fast from anger - feast on patience. Fast from words that destroy - feast on words that build up. Fast from discontent - feast on gratitude. Fast from discouragement - feast on hope."

 Pg 28  It may be said that it will be a thousand years before this frightening cataclysm takes place; but Christ has said that a thousand years are but an instant compared with eternity, and when the moment comes--when, from the land of the future life, we are the witnesses and actors in that supreme drama--the whole span of humanity will seem so short to us that we shall scarcely consider it to have lasted a single day.
