Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.

In judging others a man laboreth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose.

It thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? Dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. Seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in God alone.

The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.

If you desire to know or learn anything to your advantage, then take delight in being unknown and unregarded. A true understanding and humble estimate of oneself is the highest and most valuable of all lessons.

Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.

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