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

Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.

Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.

A man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.

Study to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.

If you seek Jesus in all things you will surely find Jesus. And if you seek yourself, you will surely find yourself, but only to your ruin.

Occasions of adversity best discover how great virtue or strength each one hath. For occasions do not make a man frail, but they show what he is.
