A good discourse is that from which nothing can be retrenched without cutting into the quick.
Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.
If you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor, and yields to softness.
I recommend to you holy simplicity.
We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.
Those who love to be feared fear to be loved.
