Love makes everything that is heavy light.

Of what use is a long life, if we amend so little? Alas, a long life often adds to our sins rather than to our virtue!

Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.

Count not thyself to have found true peace, if thou hast felt no grief; nor that then all is well if thou hast no adversary; nor that this is perfect, if all things fall out according to thy desire.

Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
