Be thankful for the smallest blessing and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favors. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean.
Temptations discover what you are.
When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.
Whatever you do, do it with intelligence, and keep the end in view.
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
