What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?

We feel and weigh soon enough what we suffer from others: but how much others suffer from us, of this we take no heed.

He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.

Wheresoever we seek our own, there we fall from love.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.

Leave off that excessive desire of knowing; therein is found much distraction. There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.

Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
