God uproots the vine that He Himself has not planted.

Make an effort to serve good bread and good meat and not to sell the better wine so as to serve what is inferior.

Nevertheless, when one is ill, one should be submissive to the doctor and obey him.

. . . . [P]ersons who love very much, easily take offense at trifles. No doubt your excessive affection for me makes you a little diffident about mine. But there is no harm done; I hope you will soon be over this slight jealousy and be convinced that nothing can change the genuine affection Our Lord has given me for you

...a great good is worth being long desired.
