If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
Saint Francis de SalesWhen you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
Saint Francis de SalesWe have freedom to do good or evil; yet to make choice of evil, is not to use, but to abuse our freedom.
Saint Francis de Sales
