Discipline

The purpose of the Disciplines is liberation from the stifling slavery to self-intreat and fear

Change

"Everybody thinks of changing humanity and no body thinks of changing himself."
Leo Tolstoy

Worship

To worship is to quicken the conscience by the Holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.
Wm Temple

Humility

Condescend to all the weaknesses and infirmities of your fellow creatures, cover their frailties , love their excellencies, encourage their virtues, relieve their wants, rejoice in their prosperity's, compassionate their distress, receive their friendship, overlook their unkindness, forgive their malice, be a servant of servants, and condescend to do the lowest offices to the lowest of mankind.
William Law
