I told him I was going to betray you and betray Lyra and he believed me because I was corrupt and full of wickedness he looked so deep I felt sure hed see the truth. But I lied too well. I was lying with every nerve and fiber and everything Id ever done...I wanted him to find no good in me and he didnt. There is none.

Neither love nor evil conquers all but evil cheats more.

When I despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

The difficulties of life do not have to be unbearable. It is the way we look at them - through faith or unbelief - that makes them seem so. We must be convinced that our Father is full of love for us and that He only permits trials to come our way for our own good.Let us occupy ourselves entirely in knowing God. The more we know Him the more we will desire to know Him. As love increases with knowledge the more we know God the more we will truly love Him. We will learn to love Him equally in times of distress or in times of great joy.

Evil takes only prisoners.Time takes none.From The Tenth chapter 28.

It is good to stay in a peaceful poverty than to stay in a painful wealth.

It is good for us to have trials and troubles at times for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearances men give us no credit when they do not think well of us then we are more inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.
