Man sees your actions, but God your motives.

Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.

Peace and happiness are what you covet, but these are only to be obtained by labor.

In judging others a man laboreth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboreth to good purpose.

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.

At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.

Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.
