The Lord delights in every little step you take.

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.

While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.

Let us be what God likes, so long as we are His, and let us not be what we want to be, if it is against his intention.

Frequent not the company of immodest persons, especially if they be also impudent, as is generally the case; ...these corrupted souls and infected hearts scarcely speak to any, either of the same or a different sex, without causing them to fall in some degree from purity; they have poison in their eyes and in their breath, like basilisks. On the contrary, keep company with the chaste and virtuous; often meditate upon and read holy things; for the word of God is chaste, and makes those also chaste that delight in it.

Provided that God be glorified, we must not care by whom.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
