No man securely rejoiceth, unless he have within him the testimony of a good conscience. Yet the security of the saints was always full of the fear of God. Neither were they less careful or humble in themselves, because they were shining with great virtues and graces.
-Bk. I, ch. xx.
____________
They tell me that I shall be afraid of death; that may well be. If you only knew how diffident I am about myself: I never rely on my own ideas; I know my weakness only too well, but I will take comfort in what Our Lord allows me to feel at the moment. It will be time enough to suffer when I feel differently.
-Novissima Verba.
