Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Always keep a good distance between yourself and lying, quarreling, detracting, insulting and gossip. The person who can do that will some day learn to enjoy the silence.

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.

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well.

At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.

Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.

The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
