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

As iron cast into fire loses its rust and becomes glowing white, so he who turns completely to God is stripped of his sluggishness and changed into a new man.

Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.

Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.

Love feels no burden, regards not labors, strives toward more than it attains, argues not of impossibility, since it believes that it may and can do all things.

Old custom is hard to break and scarce any man will be led otherwise than seemeth good unto himself.

Let not your peace rest in the utterances of men, for whether they put a good or bad construction on your conduct does not make you other than you are.
