Let nothing dismay thee:
All things pass;
God never changes.”
Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582) Roman Catholic saint

Context: Let nothing disturb thee;
Let nothing dismay thee:
All things pass;
God never changes.
Patience attains
All that it strives for.
He who has God
Finds he lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
