Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.

Do not try to find a place free from temptations and troubles. Rather, seek a peace that endures even when you are beset by various temptations and tried by much adversity.

Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission; and in the end it shall carry you.

No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.

If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith, and seek not at any time the fame of being learned.

Do not let your peace depend on the hearts of men; whatever they say about you, good or bad, you are not because of it another man, for as you are, you are.

Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
