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

My God, Sweetness beyond words, make bitter all the carnal comfort that draws me from love of the eternal and lures me to its evil self by the sight of some delightful good in the present. Let it not overcome me, my God. Let not flesh and blood conquer me. Let not the world and its brief glory deceive me, nor the devil trip me by his craftiness. Give me courage to resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere. Give me the soothing unction of Your spirit rather than all the consolations of the world, and in place of carnal love, infuse into me the love of Your name.

Christ was willing to suffer wrongs and to be despised, and do you dare to complain of anything?.

Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.

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.

We feel and weigh soon enough what we suffer from others: but how much others suffer from us, of this we take no heed.

Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.
