Consider The Pains Which Martyrs Have Endured,

Work Hard Every Day At Increasing Your Purity Of Heart, Which Consists In Appraising Things And Weighing Them In The Balance Of God's Will.

Doing Little Things With A Strong Desire To Please God Makes Them Really Great.

Frequent Not The Company Of Immodest Persons, Especially If They Be Also Impudent, As Is Generally The Case; ...these Corrupted Souls And Infected Hearts Scarcely Speak To Any, Either Of The Same Or A Different Sex, Without Causing Them To Fall In Some Degree From Purity; They Have Poison In Their Eyes And In Their Breath, Like Basilisks. On The Contrary, Keep Company With The Chaste And Virtuous; Often Meditate Upon And Read Holy Things; For The Word Of God Is Chaste, And Makes Those Also Chaste That Delight In It.

Be Patient With Everyone, But Above All With Yourself. I Mean Do Not Be Disheartened By Your Imperfections, But Always Rise Up With Fresh Courage. How Are We To Be Patient In Dealing With Our Neighbour's Faults If We Are Impatient In Dealing With Our Own? He Who Is Fretted By His Own Failings Will Not Correct Them. All Profitable Correction Comes From A Calm And Peaceful Mind.

If We Say A Little It Is Easy To Add, But Having Said Too Much It Is Hard To Withdraw And Never Can It Be Done So Quickly As To Hinder The Harm Of Our Success.
