Nothing Is So Strong As Gentleness, Nothing

He Prays Well Who Is So Absorbed With God That He Does Not Know He Is Praying.

He Who Stays Not In His Littleness, Loses His Greatness.

Do Not Desire Crosses, Unless You Have Borne Those Already Laid Upon You Well — It Is An Abuse To Long After Martyrdom While Unable To Bear An Insult Patiently.

The Highest Degree Of Meekness Consists In Seeing, Serving, Honoring, And Treating Amiably, On Occasion, Those Who Are Not To Our Taste, And Who Show Themselves Unfriendly, Ungrateful, And Troublesome To Us.

It Is Better To Remain Silent Than To Speak The Truth Ill-humoredly, And Spoil An Excellent Dish By Covering It With Bad Sauce.
