The glory of the good is in their consciences, and not in the tongues of men.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.

What most of all hinders heavenly consolation is that you are too slow in turning yourself to prayer.

Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!

Do what lieth in thy power, and God will assist in thy good will.

For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot; and we oversight what is necessary; because every man goes towards the exterior; and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.

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.
