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

O Lord, you know what is best for me. Let this or that be done, as you please. Give what you will, how much you will, and when you will.

A lover of Jesus and of the truth can lift himself above himself in spirit.

Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.

If thou hadst a good conscience thou wouldst not greatly fear death.

Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.
