Judge yourself and beware of passing judgement on others. In judging others we expend our energy to no purpose; we are often mistaken and easily sin. But if we judge ourselves our labour is always to our profit.

Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.

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.

Learned arguments do not make a man holy and righteous, whereas a good life makes him dear to God.

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.

Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.

It is better to be affected with a true penitent sorrow for sin than to be able to resolve the most difficult cases about it.
