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

A man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.

If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.

If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

Dispose thyself to patience rather than to comfort, and to the bearing of the cross rather than to gladness.

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

Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
