A drunkard cannot plead his case.

Faith is not only in the heart; it should be put into words.

Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them.

Work at not needing approval from anyone and you will be free to be who you really are.

While praying, listen to the words very carefully. When your heart is attentive, your entire being enters your prayer without your having to force it.

A poor but humble man who gives nothing to charity is preferrable to a rich but haughty man who does.

Where there is no peace, prayers are not heard.
