Obligation
A love without desire is legislative committment,
that turns to bitter servitude. -Larussa
Adversity
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it a
man hardly knows whether he is honest or not. - Feilding
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes it's jewels with. - Leighton
Who hath not known ill fortune, never knew himself,
or his own virtue. - Mallet
He who has no cross will have no crown. - Quarles
Genuine morality is preserved only in the school of
adversity; a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quicksand to virtue. - Schiller
Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which
in prosperous circumstances would have laid dormant. - Horace
These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might
have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - Jesus Christ
Jn. 16:33

Trust
How calmly may we commit ourselves to the hands of Him who bears
up the world. - Richter
Trust in God does not supersede the employment of
prudent means on our part. To expect God's protection while we do nothing is not to honor but to tempt providence. - Quesnel
Trust him little who praises all, him less who censures all,
and him least who is indifferent about all. - Lavater
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit
the way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. - King David Ps.37:3-5

Peace
We love peace, but not at any price. There is a peace more destructive
of the manhood of living man, than war is destructive of his body. Chains are worse than bayonets. - Jerrold
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for
it but truth. - M. Henry
To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of
preserving peace. - Washington
'Tis death to me, to be at enmity; I hate it, and desire all
good men's love. - Shakespeare
There are interests by the sacrifice of which peace is too dearly
purchased. One should never be at peace to the shame of his own soul, to the voilation of his integrity or of his allegiance
to God. - E.H. Chapin
For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition between us. Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained
in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that He might reconcile both unto God in
one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby; and He came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to
them that were nigh. For through Him we both have access by one spirit unto the Father. Now therefore, Ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God. - Paul the Apostle Eph. 2:14-19
