Remember the maxim of the Romans which states that by union and counsel we can achieve anything.

Let us reflect that we shall always do God's Will and He will do ours when we carry out that of our Superiors.

[E]ven if the whole world should rise up to destroy us, nothing will happen except that God, in whom we have put our hope, will allow.

[E]xcess in the practice of virtue is no less imperfect than the lack of it.

Let us be submissive to Providence, He will see to our affairs in His own time and in His own way

Remember, Monsieur, that the downfall of most Communities comes from the cowardice of Superiors in not holding firm and in not purging them of the troublesome and incorrigible.

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