The perfection of a Christian consists in mortifying his will for the love of Christ. Where there is no great mortification, there is no great sanctity.
Philip NeriTo be without pity for other mens falls, is an evident sign that we shall fall ourselves shortly.
Philip NeriWe must sometimes bear with little defects in others, as we have, against our will, to bear with natural defects in ourselves. If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects.
Philip Neri
