January 20th
Book One, Chapter 20

Oh, what great peace and quietness would he possess, that would cut off all vain anxiety, and think only upon divine things, and such as are profitable for his soul, and would place all his confidence in God....What can you see anywhere that can long continue under the sun?  You think, perhaps, to satisfy yourself, but you can never attain it....Leave vain things to the vain; but be intent upon those things which God commands you.  Shut the door upon yourself, and call Jesus, your beloved, to you....for you will not find so great peace anywhere else.
