Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.

No one is so good that he is immune from temptation. We will never be entirely free from it. . . . There is no order so holy, no place so secret where there will be no temptation.

Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.

Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.

Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

Man sees your actions, but God your motives.

What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
