Endeavor to be always patient of the faults and imperfections of others; for thou hast many faults and imperfections of thine own that require forbearance. If thou art not able to make thyself that which thou wishest, how canst thou expect to mold another in conformity to thy will?

Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.

The intention which is fixed on God as its only end will keep people steady in their purposes, and deliver them from being the joke and scorn of fortune.

Have therefore zeal to better thyself and then mayst thou have zeal to thy neighbor.

When comfort is withdrawn, do not be cast down, but humbly and patiently await the visitation of God. He is able and powerful to give you more grace and more spiritual comfort than you first had.

Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.

When anger enters the mind, wisdom departs.
