"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!" (WND, 851)

" Strenghten your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage". ( WND, 997 )
