Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.

He who knows himself well is mean and abject in his own sight, and takes no delight in the vain praise of men.

Let not therefore thy heart be troubled, neither let it fear. Trust in me, and put thy confidence in my mercy. When thou thinkest thyself farthest off from me, oftentimes I am nearest unto thee. When thou countest almost all to be lost, then oftentimes the greatest gain of reward is close at hand. All is not lost, when any thing falleth out contrary. Thou oughtest not to judge according to present feeling; nor so to take any grief, or give thyself over to it.

Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.

It is better to have but little knowledge with humility and understanding, than great learning which might make you proud. For a person's merits are not to be estimated by having many visions, or by knowledge of the bible, or by being placed in a higher position; but by being grounded in true humility, and by seeking always, purely, and entirely, the honor of God.

All men are frail; but thou shouldst reckon none so frail as thyself.

The glory of the good is in their consciences, and not in the tongues of men.
