Would To God That We Might Spend

If You Bear The Cross Unwillingly, You Make It A Burden, And Load Yourself More Heavily; But You Must Bear It.

Occasions Do Not Make A Man Either Strong Or Weak But They Show What He Is.

He Who Loves With Purity Considers Not The Gift Of The Lover, But The Love Of The Giver.

Grant Me Prudently To Avoid Him That Flatters Me, And To Endure Patiently Him That Contradicts Me.

How Sweet It Is To Love, And To Be Dissolved, And As It Were To Bathe Myself In Thy Love.
