In Everything, Love Simplicity.

While Extremely Sensitive As To The Slightest Approach To Slander, You Must Also Guard Against An Extreme Into Which Some People Fall, Who, In Their Desire To Speak Evil Of No One, Actually Uphold And Speak Well Of Vice.

Go In All Simplicity; Do Not Be Anxious To Win A Quiet Mind, And It Will Be All The Quieter. Do Not Examine So Closely Into The Progress Of Your Soul. Do Not Crave Too Much To Be Perfect, But Let Your Spiritual Life Beformed By Your Duties, And By The Actions Which Are Called Forth By Circumstances.

One Of The Most Evil Dispositions Possible Is That Which Satirizes And Turns Everything To Ridicule. God Abhors This Vice, And Has Sometimes Punished It In A Marked Manner

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.

God Takes Pleasure To See You Take Your Little Steps; And Like A Good Father Who Holds His Child By The Hand, He Will Accommodate His Steps To Yours And Will Be Content To Go No Faster Than You. Why Do You Worry?
