Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
The enemy is more easily overcome if he be not suffered to enter the door of our hearts, but be resisted without the gate at his first knock.
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.
Set not thyself to attain much rest, but much patience.
Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.
