8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8, King James Version)
7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (Proverbs 23:7, King James Version)
Still may Thy sweet mercy spread
A shady arm above my head,
About my paths; so shall I find
The fair cenre of my mind
Thy temple, and those lovely walls
Bright ever with a beam that falls
Fresh from the pure glance of Thine eye,
Lighting to eternity. (R.Crashaw)
Make yourself nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us yet know, for none of us have been taught in early youth, what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thought – proof against all adversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithufl sayings, treasure – houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot didturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us, – houses built without hands, for our souls to live in. (J.Ruskin)
