When you get so weary that you feel full of care and worry and self-pity, just go apart and rest awhile. Do not worry yourself out of the arms of Jesus. . . .
Look away from yourself unto Jesus, who is the author and the finisher of your faith. Be of good courage, and He will bring it to pass. You are not to be weaklings. When you feel thus, take an entire rest. Talk courage, talk faith, and you may create an atmosphere of hopefulness and brightness.-- Letter 187, 1901, p. 3. (To Brother and Sister S. N. Haskell, December 29, 1901.) White Estate Washington, D. C. November 15, 1978
