Confidence is the illusion born of accidental success.

The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.

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

All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace.

Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission; and in the end it shall carry you.

Let all your thoughts be with the Most High, and direct your humble prayers unceasingly to Christ. If you cannot contemplate high and heavenly things, take refuge in the Passion of Christ, and love to dwell within His Sacred Wounds. For if you devoutly seek the Wounds of Jesus and the precious marks of His Passion, you will find great strength in all troubles.

The Lord has many lovers of His crown but few lovers of His Cross.
