Giving Simplicity Pearls

More From Francois Fenelon

When we are truly in this interior simplicity our whole appearance is franker, more natural. this true simplicity. . . makes us conscious of a certain openness, gentleness, innocence, gaiety, and serenity. o, how amiable this simplicity is! who will give it to me? i leave all for this. it is the pearl of the gospel.

Everybody really knows what to do to have his life filled with joy. what is it? quit hating people; start loving them. quit being mad at people; start liking them. quit doing wrong; quit being filled with fear. quit thinking about yourself and go out and do something for other people. everybody knows what you have to do to be happy. but the wisdom of the test lies in the final words: "if ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
