Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Thomas a KempisIf you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.
Thomas a Kempis
