Passage 63

In English

Having resolved what ought to be, Hold on till you succeed. Having desired what ought to be, Hold on till they are fulfilled. Having asked what ought to be, Hold on till you get it. Having thought what ought to be, Hold on till the thought is realised. With heart mellowed, the Lord must yield to your wishes, Or forgetting yourself, you should ask Him with all your heart. Persevere, be tenacious, and never give up, For it is the quality of a student never to retreat, Abandoning his resolve.
