May 22

“This above all, to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou can’st not then be false to any man.”

SHAKESPEARE

"Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the world’s famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.”

BONAR

“Every temptation to evil resisted and overcome – every sacrifice of worldly good or pleasure for conscience’ sake, makes the soul purer and stronger.
“It is of vast importance whether the soul, which is made to live for ever, is a truthful, pure and noble soul, made strong through the conquest of many and great temptations; with affections set upon all that is good and beautiful; with conscience that clearly sees the difference between right and wrong, and a firm will, resolute to choose the right.”
