Friendship requires great communication.

I recommend to you holy simplicity.

Do not desire crosses, unless you have borne those already laid upon you well — it is an abuse to long after martyrdom while unable to bear an insult patiently.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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.

Those who love to be feared fear to be loved, and they themselves are more afraid than anyone, for whereas other men fear only them, they fear everyone.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
