Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.
Francois FenelonHad we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.

Francois FenelonThe more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.
Francois FenelonCommit yourself then to God! He will be your guide. He Himself will travel with you, as we are told He did with the Israelites, to bring them step by step across the desert to the promised land. Ah! what will be your blessedness, if you will but surrender yourself into the hands of God, permitting Him to do whatever He will, not according to your desires, but according to His own good pleasure?
