If you would live gloriously

(Brooks, "The Glorious Day of the Saints Appearance")

Professors look far too much upon the tempting world,
when she smiles and holds forth her beautiful breasts! 
If you would live gloriously, look away from the
tempting world: it is a plague and a snare! Look away
from it—whether it smiles or whether it frowns.

Remember you have a God to look at, a Christ to look
at, and an unfading crown of glory to look at; which is
better than all—which is more than all other things to
your souls!
