Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault.
