May not be your peace in the mouth of the men; since no matter if they thing good or bad about you, you should not be a different man because of that.

Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.

If you can win complete mastery over self, you will easily master all else. To triumph over self is the perfect victory.

The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.

If thou be not busy for thyself now, who shall be busy for thee in time to come?

And if thy heart be straight with God then every creature shall be to thee a mirror of life and a book of holy doctrine for there is no creature so little or so despised but that sheweth and representeth the goodness of God.

Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.
