If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.

A spoon full of honey gets more flies than a barrel full of vinegar.

There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.

Humility consists in not esteeming ourselves above other men, and in not seeking to be esteemed above them.

We have freedom to do good or evil; yet to make choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom.

I recommend to you holy simplicity.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.
