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

Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.

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

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

The intention which is fixed on God as its only end will keep people steady in their purposes, and deliver them from being the joke and scorn of fortune.

To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace.

Permit no hour to go by without it due improvement.
