My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light for mine eyes, it also is gone from me. These are the words, sighs, complaints, prayers, and arguments of a broken heart to God for mercy; and so are they 'Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Indeed, true happiness belongeth to them that have cast off their thirst for worldly objects a thirst which is difficult to be thrown off by the wicked and the sinful, which faileth not with the failing life, and which is truly the fatal disease of man. My heart hath for a full thousand years been fixed upon the objects of desires.
The time is come when our lives are threatened. Without doubt, one only amongst many becometh wise and brave. "The third brother, Stamvamitra, said, 'The eldest brother is called the protector. If the eldest himself faileth to rescue them, what can the younger ones do?
How, then, would they know when they had attained to this state of consciousness, of which he spoke, and which they but dimly understood? How might they know when they had found this great love that was to make them "a new creature"? First of all, they might know because: LOVE NEVER FAILETH.
Many have ruled well, who could not, perhaps, define a commonwealth; and they who understand not the globe of the earth command a great part of it.

And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth." And Joseph said, "Give your cattle, and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail."
Man frequently fails in accomplishing his end, from a natural inability of the power to the purpose; and frequently from the want of wisdom to apply power properly. But it is impossible for infinite power and wisdom to fail as man faileth.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
