      [continued from previous message]              quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides. Often recall       the proverb: "The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled       with hearing."[11 Eccles. 1:8] Try, moreover, to turn your heart from       the love of things visible and bring yourself to things invisible. For       they who follow their own evil passions stain their consciences and       lose the grace of God.       --The Imitation of Christ, Thomas À Kempis              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
