 All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it. |
| Without the way, there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living. |
| He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure. |
| 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. |
| Gladly we desire to make other men perfect, but we will not amend our own fault. |
| He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver. |
| I would far rather feel remorse than know how to define it. |
| A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself. |
| Out of sight, out of mind. The absent are always in the wrong. |
| What most of all hinders heavenly consolation is that you are too slow in turning yourself to prayer. |
| It is much safer to obey than to rule. |
| Intelligence must follow faith, never precede it, and never destroy it. |
| Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature. |
| Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. |
| Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome himself. |
| No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled. |
| How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves. |
| An humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning. |
| The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly. |
| We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are. |
