Had we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.

The most essential point is lowliness.

To will everything that God wills, and to will it always, in all circumstances and without reservations: that is the kingdom of God which is entirely within.

Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer.

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

Even if no command to pray had existed, our very weakness would have suggested it.

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