Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.

God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.

In judging others a man laboreth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose.

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.
