If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.

How should thy patience be crowned in heaven if none adversity should befall to thee in earth? If thou wilt suffer none adversity how mayest thou be the friend of Christ?

He who knows himself well is mean and abject in his own sight, and takes no delight in the vain praise of men.

How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.

Remember, your prerogative is to govern, and not to serve the things of this world.

Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.

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