“Knowledge must come through action; you can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.”

“Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.”

“Knowledge is a potential for a certain type of action, by which we mean that the action would occur if certain tests were run. For example, a library plus its user has knowledge if a certain type of response will be evoked under a given set of stipulations.”

“Reading opens our minds and gives us knowledge. That knowledge will only be tested through our life experiences.”

“You need both clarity and earnestness for self-knowledge. You need maturity of heart and mind, which comes through earnest application in daily life of whatever little you have understood. (…).”

“You must live life with the full knowledge that your actions will remain. We are creatures of consequence.”

“For knowledge to become wisdom, and for the soul to grow, the soul must be rooted in God: and it is through prayer that there comes to us that which is the strength of our strength, and the virtue of our virtue, the Holy Spirit.”

“It is a test mentally, physically and spiritually at times. You must try to stay in the process of creating which will always have obstacles.”

“While you are going through your trial, you can recall your past victories and count the blessings that you do have with a sure hope of greater ones to allow if you are faithful.”

“Sometimes you’re the only one that can save yourself; for no one is coming to save you.”
