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

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

Learn to humble yourself, you are but earth and clay.

Whatsoever is done in charity, however small and of no reputation it be, bringeth forth good fruit.

No confict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.

Jesus has many who love the kingdom of God, but few who bear a cross. He has many who desire His comfort, but few who desire His suffering. All want to rejoice with him, but few are willing to suffer for Him. He writes; there are many who admire his miracles, but there are few who follow in the humiliation of the cross.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
