Thou shalt ever joy at eventide if thou spend the day fruitfully.

Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.

For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

Grant me prudently to avoid him that flatters me, and to endure patiently him that contradicts me.

If you want to learn something that will really help you, learn to see yourself as God sees you and not as you see yourself in the distorted mirror of your own self-importance.

What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.

It is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.
