Quotes

"Now he who in truth will perceive and take note, perceives clearly, that true peace and rest lie not in outward things; for if it were so, the Evil Spirit also would have peace when things go according to his will which is nowise the case; for the prophets declares, There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked....But Christ meant that true, inward peace of the heart, which begins here, and endures forever hereafter. Therefore He said: "Not as the world gives," for the world is false, and deceives in her gifts. She promises much, and performs little."
