“It is impossible that one who has turned to the world and feels its anxieties, and engages his heart in the wish to please men, can fulfil that first and great commandment of the Master, You shall love God with all your heart and with all your strength Matthew 22:37 . How can he fulfil that, when he divides his heart between God and the world, and exhausts the love which he owes to Him alone in human affections?”
