What does solicitude about future accidents bring thee, but only sorrow upon sorrow? Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof (Matt. vi, 34). It is a vain and unprofitable thing to conceive either grief or joy for future things, which perhaps will never happen.
-Bk. III. ch. xxx.

I do not lift my eyes to see
The clouds next day may bring;
From stain of sin, Lord, keep me free
This day, beneath Thy wing!
I can endure just for today
The cross that Thou wilt send;
The daily grace, for which I pray,
Will help me to the end.
- Poems
