Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.

By two wings a man is lifted up from things earthly: by simplicity and purity.

He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.

Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys Him.

Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.

In judging others a man laboreth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose.
