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

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.

What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow?

Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it.

But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.

A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.

First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.

He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

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.
