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.

To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.

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

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.

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.

A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.

Man proposes, but God disposes.
