Affliction

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “Cum in omni fere litterarum studio dulce laboris lenimen et summum doloris solamen dum uiuitur insitum considerem, tum delectabilius et maioris praerogatiua claritatis historiarum splendorem amplectendum crediderim.”

• “Night brings out stars as sorrow shows us truths.”

• “Every man will have his own criterion in forming his judgment of others. I depend very much on the effect of affliction. I consider how a man comes out of the furnace; gold will lie for a month in the furnace without losing a grain.”

• “What seem to us but dim funereal tapers may be heaven's distant lamps.”

• “Grace will ever speak for itself and be fruitful in well-doing; the sanctified cross is a fruitful tree.”

• “Heaven gives us friends to bless the present scene; Resumes them, to prepare us for the next.”
