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

Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.

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

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.

If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys Him.
