Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!

Cling, therefore, to Jesus in life and death; trust yourself to the glory of Him who alone can help you when all others fail.

A wise and good man will turn examples of all sorts to his own advantage. The good he will make his patterns, and strive to equal or excel them. The bad he will by all means avoid.

In the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life; in the Cross is protection against our enemies; in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is strength of mind; in the Cross is joy of spirit; in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.

He is truly great who is little in his own eyes and makes nothing of the highest

No confict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.

He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.
