Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.

He who is not getting better is getting worse.

Occupy yourself in beholding and bewailing your own imperfections rather than contemplating the imperfections of others.

God will not be outdone in generosity.

... we ought even to hold as a fixed principle that what I see white I believe to be black, if the superior authorities define it to be so.

He who carries God in his heart bears Heaven with him wherever he goes.
