We must imitate Christ's life and his ways if we are to be truly enlightened and set free from the darkness of our own hearts. Let it be the most important thing we do, then, to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ.

I can take credit for only two things: pride and sin.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.

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.

He is truly great who hath a great charity.

Temptations discover what you are.

How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
