Thou art my glory and the exultation of y heart: thou art my hope and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Man considers the actions, but God weighs the intentions.

To be able to live peaceably with hard and perverse persons, or with the disorderly, or with such as go contrary to us, is a great grace.

A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.

Be at peace with yourself first and then you will be able to bring peace to others.

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better in heaven and earth; because love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.

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