Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it. So quietly submit to be painted—i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it
alone
.You are in the right way. Walk—don't keep on looking at it.
C. S. Lewis

Deep within every human being there still lives the anxiety over the possibility of being
alone
in the world, forgotten by God, overlooked among the millions and millions in this enormous household. One keeps this anxiety at a distance by looking at the many round about who are related to him as kin and friends, but the anxiety is still there, nevertheless, and one hardly dares think of how he would feel if all this were taken away.

Reflect that life, like every other blessing,

God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another — God
alone
.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone
with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

It had become clear to me, in a flash of illumination, that for me the only possible goal was psychiatry. Here
alone
the two currents of my interest could flow together and in a united stream dig their own bed. Here was the empirical field common to biological and spiritual facts, which I had everywhere sought and nowhere found. Here at last was the place where the collision of nature and spirit became a reality.

It is in moments of illness that we are compelled to recognize that we live not
alone
but chained to a creature of a different kingdom, whole worlds apart, who has no knowledge of us and by whom it is impossible to make ourselves understood: our body.

The pictures, with their ruddy light,
Are changed to dust and ashes white,
And I am left

As a child I felt myself to be
alone
, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd
alone
—

The mobilization of world opinion and methods of negotiation should be developed and used by every nation in order to strengthen the United Nations. Then if we are forced into war, it will be because there has been no way to prevent it through negotiation and the mobilization of world opinion. In which case we should have the voluntary support of many nations, which is far better than the decision of one nation
alone
, or even of a few nations.

I don't see anything wrong with being
alone
, it feels great to me. People make a big thing about personal love. It doesn't have to be such a big thing. The same for living - people make a big thing about that too. But personal living and personal loving are the two things the Eastern-type wise men don't think about.

[In the world below...] The wise and orderly soul is conscious of her situation, and follows in the path; but the soul which desires the body, and which... has long been fluttering about the lifeless frame and the world of sight, is after many struggles and many sufferings hardly and with violence carried away by her attendant genius, and when she arrives at the place where the other souls are gathered, if she be impure and have done impure deeds or have been concerned in foul murders or other crimes... from that soul everyone flees and turns away; no one will be her companion, no one her guide, but
alone
she wanders in extremity of evil until certain times are fulfilled...

Only men to whom the family is sacred will ever have a standard or a status by which to criticize the State. They

While we are contending for our own liberty, we should be very cautious not to violate the conscience of others, ever considering that God

is the judge of the hearts of men, and to Him only in this case are they answerable.

Nor knowest thou what argument
Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent.
All are needed by each one;
