There speaks the man of truly noble ways, Who will not listen to the words of praise. In modesty averse, and with deaf ears, He acts as though the others were his peers.

When I make a mistake everyone can see it, but not when I lie.

Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves; and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.

The master proves himselin recognizing his limitations.

Where the light is brightest, the shadows are deepest.

The safest thing is always to try to convert everything that is in us and around us into action; let the others talk and argue about it as they please.

Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.
