No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.

Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you.

For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot; and we oversight what is necessary; because every man goes towards the exterior; and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.

Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is.

Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it. You are what you are, and you cannot be said to be better than you are in God's sight.

To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.

Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.
