A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.

Faith is required of thee, and a sincere life, not loftiness of intellect, nor deepness in the mysteries of God.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Know all and you will pardon all.

Carefully avoid in yourself those things which distrub you in others.

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.

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