When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!
Two wings lift a person up from earthly concerns: Simplicity in intention, and Purity in feeling.
We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.
Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.
Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you.
