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

Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared.

In the morning fix thy good purpose; and at night examine thyself what thou hast done, how thou hast behaved thyself in word, deed, and thought.

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.

If we live in peace ourselves, we in turn may bring peace to others. A peaceable man does more good than a learned one.

He is truly great who is little in his own eyes and makes nothing of the highest

What most of all hinders heavenly consolation is that you are too slow in turning yourself to prayer.
