The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become toward the defects of other people.

The more you say, the less people remember.

Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.

Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.

Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.

Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent toward those of others.

Violent excitement exhausts the mind and leaves it withered and sterile.
