At the day of judgment we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.

If you wish to live in peace and harmony with others, you must learn to discipline yourself in many ways.

If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.

Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.

As iron put into the fire loseth its rust and becometh clearly red-hot, so he that wholly turneth himself unto God puts off all slothfulness, and is transformed into a new man.

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him. Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

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