We must not be dismayed at the number of things we have to consider before setting out on this Divine Journey, which is the road we gain so much precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one.

The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid is as nothing at all by comparison to the greatness of our prize.
