O how quickly passes away the glory of the earth.

Always keep a good distance between yourself and lying, quarreling, detracting, insulting and gossip. The person who can do that will some day learn to enjoy the silence.

For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.

He is truly great who hath a great charity.

Whatsoever is done in charity, however small and of no reputation it be, bringeth forth good fruit.

Forasmuch as many people study more to have knowledge than to live well therefore ofttimes they err and bring forth little fruit or none.

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.
