He that hath no cross deserves no crown.
The way to bliss lies not on beds of down, And he that had no cross deserves no crown.
If God send thee a cross, take it up willingly and follow him. Use it wisely, lest it be unprofitable. Bear it patiently, lest it be intolerable. If it be light, slight it not. If it be heavy, murmur not. After the cross is the crown.
