If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.
The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
It is much safer to obey than to rule.
The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
There is no man in this world without some manner of tribulation or anguish, though he be king or pope.
