If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.

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

Happy is the man who renounces everything which may bring a stain or burden upon his conscience

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

The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.
