  • God Works In Tranquility

     | 2,561 views

    GOD WORKS IN TRANQUILITY Fuss and feverishness, anxiety, intensity, intolerance, instability, pessimism and wobble, and every kind of hurry and worry--these, even on the highest levels, are signs of the self-made and self-acting soul; the spiritual parvenu.
