We 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.

To preserve our cheerfulness amid sicknesses and troubles, is a sign of a right and good spirit.

There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.

The stench of impurity before God and the angels is so great, that no stench in the world can equal it.

First let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.

Heaven is not made for the slothful.

He who wishes for goods will never have devotion.
