“Dislike – misunderstanding – opposition – likely enough, and if not self-caused, wholesome enough, yet very hard to bear. When these things come we must examine our conscience, and see whether there may not be in ourselves some self-will or pride, or narrowness, or over-sensitiveness, or love of self-assertion, which may account for what we are suffering. And then if our conscience is clear, we can leave it to God. It will pass. And we will pray that it pass not without teaching us its lessons of humility and patience and forbearance.”
Bishop WALSHAM HOW
“If you would not be known to do a thing – never do it.”
