Grace is the mastery of truth, the teacher of discipline, the light of the heart, the comforter of affliction, the banisher of sorrow, the nurse of devotion.

If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.

All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace.

The more the flesh is wasted by affliction, so much more is the Spirit strengthened by inward grace.

Carefully avoid in yourself those things which distrub you in others.

Love is a great thing, a good above all others, which alone maketh every burden light.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
