If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ?
Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.
Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.
The glory of the good is in their consciences, and not in the tongues of men.
Now is the time to be doing, now is the time to be stirring, now is the time to amend myself.
For it is the grace of Christ, and not our own virtue, that gives us the power to overcome the flesh and the world.
