Flowers Often Grow More Beautifully On Dung-hills

When You Encounter Difficulties And Contradictions, Do Not Try To Break Them, But Bend Them With Gentleness And Time.

Have Jesus Always For Your Patron, His Cross For A Mast On Which You Must Spread Your Resolutions As A Sail. Your Anchor Shall Be A Profound Confidence In Him, And You Shall Sail Prosperously.

Do Not Scrutinize So Closely Whether You Are Doing Much Or Little, Ill Or Well, So Long As What You Do Is Not Sinful And That You Are Heartily Seeking To Do Everything For God. Try As Far As You Can To Do Everything Well, But When It Is Done, Do Not Think About It. Try, Rather, To Think Of What Is To Be Done Next. Go On Simply In The Lord's Way, And Do Not Torment Yourself. We Ought To Hate Our Faults, But With A Quiet, Calm Hatred; Not Pettishly And Anxiously.

In Everything, Love Simplicity.

He Who Can Preserve Gentleness Amid Pains, And Peace Amid Worry Multitude Of Affairs, Is Almost Perfect.
