To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection.

A disciple once complained, "You tell us stories, but you never reveal their meaning to us." The master replied, "How would you like it if someone offered you fruit and then chewed it up for you before giving it to you?" If your heart is straight with God, then every creature will be to you a mirror of life and a book of holy doctrine.

Don't think so much about who is for or against you, rather give all your care, that God be with you in everything you do.

Be Yourself -The man who is neither bent upon pleasing his fellows nor afraid of offending them will enjoy great peace.

He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.

Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?

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