You will never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless you pass over in silence the shortcomings of your fellow men, and diligently examine your own weaknesses.

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.

O Lord, you know what is best for me. Let this or that be done, as you please. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will.

For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.

We should have much more peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others.

Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.

He does much who loves much.
