Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

All true happiness, pure joy, sweet bounties, and untroubled pleasure lie in knowledge of God and love of God; they cannot exist without them.

Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.
