O Lord, you know what is best for me. Let this or that be done, as you please. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.

Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is.

For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot; and we oversight what is necessary; because every man goes towards the exterior; and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.

Two wings lift a person up from earthly concerns: Simplicity in intention, and Purity in feeling.

Blessed are the simple, for they shall have much peace.

Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!
