When you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.
Francis of Assisi
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Psalm 121:1-4
The King James Version
Righteousness is a straight line, and is always the shortest distance between two points.

There are only two kinds of folk: the righteous who believe themselves sinners; the rest, sinners, who believe themselves righteous.
Blaise Pascal
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians 1:17-19
The King James Version
God be in my head,
And in my understanding;
God be in my eyes,
And in my looking;
God be in my mouth,
And in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
And in my thinking;
God be at my end,
And in my departing.

This doctrine of God’s good will towards men, this command of men’s proportionable good will to one another, is not this the very body and substance, this the very spirit and life, of our Saviour’s whole institution?
Thomas Sprat
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Proverbs 2:20-22
The King James Version
For a man to argue, “I do not go to church; I pray alone,” is no wiser than if he should say, “I have no use for symphonies; I believe only in solo music.”

Let us always bear about us such impressions of reverence, and fear of God, that we may humble ourselves before his almightiness, and express that infinite distance between his infiniteness and our weaknesses.
Jeremy Taylor
“Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.”

Unto them that love him, God causeth all things to work for the best. So that with Him, by the heavenly light of steadfast faith, they see lite even in death; with Him, even in heaviness and sorrow, they fail not of joy and comfort; with Him, even in poverty, affliction, and trouble, they neither perish nor are forsaken.
Myles Coverdale
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

The way to worry about nothing is to pray about everything.

He is a good time-server that improves the present for God’s glory and his own salvation.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

You cannot claim to worship Jesus in the tabernacle if you do not pity Jesus in the slum. Now go out into the highways and hedges, and look for Jesus in the ragged and the naked..in those who have lost hope, and in those who are struggling to make good. Look for Jesus in them; and when you have found him, gird yourself with his towel of fellowship and wash His feet in the person of his brethren.
Frank Weston
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Psalm 1:6
The New International Version
It would seem, after having been a Christian for almost 80 years, that I would no longer do ugly things that need forgiving. Yet I am constantly doing things to others that cause me to have to go back and ask their forgiveness. Sometimes these are things I actually do—other times they are simply attitudes I let creep in which break the circle of God’s perfect love.

God had given me this lesson that I could still be imperfect and be loved. That’s how God loves us. We humans are terrible at loving one another. We’re terrible at keeping peace. We’re terrible at running the world and using our free will but for some reason God loves us all anyway.
Monica Clare
“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
Amos 5:24
The New International Version
Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.
Augustine

The devil fears a soul in union with God as he fears God himself.
John of the Cross
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
Proverbs 4:18
The Revised Standard Version
The audience was waiting for the brilliant pianist to come out onto the stage. Then, to everyone’s embarrassment, a little boy wandered up onto the stage and started banging out one harsh note on the Steinway. Suddenly, the maestro appeared in the wings and made his way over to the boy. Standing behind him as he banged away tunelessly, he began to weave a melody around the note, taking it up into his larger tune and transforming it into something beautiful. After a few moments, the maestro gently led the boy away from the piano, and together they took a bow to the audience’s applause. The little boy wandered back to his seat—not embarrassed, not having been made to look foolish. In the same way, Jesus can take the harsh, discordant, out-of-tune moments of our lives—perhaps a time of sexual sin, or of cowardice or defeat in some other way—and can weave his own purposes around them. As we let him do this, he transforms our mistakes and failures, bringing out of them something he can use for his glory.
