Oh, How Quickly The World's Glory Passes

No Man Doth Safely Rule, But He That Hath Learned Gladly To Obey.

Always Keep A Good Distance Between Yourself And Lying, Quarreling, Detracting, Insulting And Gossip. The Person Who Can Do That Will Some Day Learn To Enjoy The Silence.

Oh How Swiftly The Glory Of The World Passes Away! If Only The Lives Of These Men Had Been As Admirable As Their Learning, Their Study And Reading Would Have Been To Good Purpose! But How Many In This World Care Little For The Service Of God, And Perish In Their Vain Learning. Because They Choose To Be Great Rather Than Humble, They Perish In Their Own Conceit.

Have Therefore Zeal To Better Thyself And Then Mayst Thou Have Zeal To Thy Neighbor.

Be Thankful For The Smallest Blessing And You Will Deserve To Receive Greater. Value The Least Gifts No Less Than The Greatest, And Simple Graces As Especial Favors. If You Remember The Dignity Of The Giver, No Gift Will Seem Small Or Mean.
