Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!

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

For man plans, but God arranges.

God evaluates by this criterion: How much love you invest in what you do is more important than how you do. The one who loves much is actually the one who does much.

Do not let your peace depend on the hearts of men; whatever they say about you, good or bad, you are not because of it another man, for as you are, you are.

The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.

Always keep a good distance between yourself and lying, quarreling, detracting, insulting and gossip. The person who can do that will some day learn to enjoy the silence.
