When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
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.
Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Make sickness itself a prayer.
Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
