He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.

To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.

Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.

Always be ready; always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.

Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.

Such as every man is inwardly so he judgeth outwardly.
