In everything, love simplicity.

It is not those who commit the least faults who are the most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately apprehensive about tripping.

It matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.

Big fires flare up in a wind, but little ones are blown out unless they are carried in under cover.
