Lately I was near the beehives and some of the bees flew onto my face. I wanted to raise my hand, and brush them off. 'No,' said a peasant to me, 'do not be afraid, and do not touch them. They will not sting you at all, if you touch them they will bite you.' I trusted him; not one bit me. Trust me; do not fear these temptations. Do not touch them; they will not hurt you.

He who complains, sins.

To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.

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

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

Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.

Work hard every day at increasing your purity of heart, which consists in appraising things and weighing them in the balance of God's will.
