Speak, move, act in peace.

Temptations are a file which rub off much of the rust of our self-confidence.

We may as well tolerate all religions, since God Himself tolerates all.

Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul.

The history of the world suggests that without love of God there is little likelihood of a love for man that does not become corrupt.

If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.

It is this unquiet self-love that renders us so sensitive. The sick man, who sleeps ill, thinks the night long. We exaggerate, from cowardice, all the evils which we encounter; they are great, but our sensibility increases them. The true way to bear them is to yield ourselves up with confidence to God.
