Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.

Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.

It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others.

No man is without his load of trouble.

He is truly great who hath a great charity.

All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.

Endeavor to be always patient of the faults and imperfections of others; for thou hast many faults and imperfections of thine own that require forbearance. If thou art not able to make thyself that which thou wishest, how canst thou expect to mold another in conformity to thy will?
