181:1.7 [[Jesus]] gives [[peace]] to his fellow [[Doing the will of God|doers of the will of God]] but not on the order of the [[joys]] and [[satisfactions]] of this [[material]] world.

181:1.9 [[Jesus]] was [[determined]], [[persistent]], and thoroughly [[devoted]] to the accomplishment of his [[mission]], but he was not an unfeeling and calloused [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism stoic]; he ever sought for the [[cheerful]] aspects of his life [[experiences]], but he was not a blind and [[self]]-[[deceived]] [[optimist]].
