God Is Even Kinder Than You Think.

Be Gentle To All And Stern With Yourself.

Do Not Think You Have Gained A Virtue Unless You Have First Been Tried By Its Opposite.

Accustom Yourself Continually To Make Many Acts Of Love, For They Enkindle And Melt The Soul.

Lord, How Thou Dost Afflict Thy Lovers!

To Argue Over Who Is The More Noble Is Nothing More Than To Dispute Whether Dirt Is Better For Making Bricks Or For Making Mortar.
