Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.

God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.

Do not let your "eye" be drawn by the false "beacon lamps" -of wealth, or position, or fame, or possessions. Be vigilant over your will and desires, for these are the corrupt forces that dwell within, and keep you from living free.

Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.
