No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.

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

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.

Study to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.

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

No man doth safely rule, but he that hath learned gladly to obey.

How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
