The end of all is death and man's life passeth away suddenly as a shadow.

Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself.

No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.

Do not read to satisfy curiosity or to pass the time, but study such things as move your heart to devotion.

Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission; and in the end it shall carry you.

Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.

Man proposes, but God disposes.
