Desert Answers


The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.

-- St. Matt. xi. 12 (R.V.).

Be thou therefore ready for the conflict, if thou wilt have the victory.
Without a combat thou canst not attain unto the crown of patience.
Without labour there is no arriving at rest;
nor without fighting can the victory be attained.

-- The Imitation of Christ, iii. 19.

-- Wisdom of the Desert
