• Furnish thyself with arguments from the promises to enforce thy prayers, and make them prevalent with God.

• Not so in haste, my heart! Have faith in God and wait; Although he linger long, He never comes too late. He never comes too late, He knoweth what is best: Vex not thyself in vain; Until he cometh, rest. Until he cometh, rest.

• Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth.
  It is thy desire in us that desireth.
  It is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days which are thine also.
  We cannot ask thee for aught, for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us:
  Thou art our need; and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.

Dare to rest in God's kindly arms, Dare to look confidently into His face, Then launch thyself into life unafraid! Knowing thou art within my Father's house, That thou art surrounded by His love, Thou wilt become master of fear, Lord of Life, conqueror even of death!

• The Devil' is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes... This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade 'Know Thyself!' and taught Initiation. He is 'The Devil' of the Book of Thoth, and His emblem is BAPHOMET, the Androgyne who is the hieroglyph of arcane perfection... He is therefore Life, and Love.
