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.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

No man is without his load of trouble.

It is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.

Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.

How sweet it is to love, and to be dissolved, and as it were to bathe myself in thy love.

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.
