Naturally We All Have An Inclination To Command, And A Great Aversion To Obey; And Yet It Is Certain That It Is More For Our Good To Obey Than To Command; Hence Perfect Souls Have Always Had A Great Affection For Obedience, And Have Found All Their Joy And Comfort In It.

Be Patient With Everyone, But Above All With Yourself. I Mean, Do Not Be Disturbed Because Of Your Imperfections, And Always Rise Up Bravely From A Fall. I Am Glad That You Make A Daily New Beginning; There Is No Better Means Of Progress In The Spiritual Life Than To Be Continually Beginning Afresh, And Never To Think That We Have Done Enough.

It Is The Mark Of A Mean, Vulgar And Ignoble Spirit To Dwell On The Thought Of Food Before Meal Times Or Worse To Dwell On It Afterwards, To Discuss It And Wallow In The Remembered Pleasures Of Every Mouthful. Those Whose Minds Dwell Before Dinner On The Spit, And After On The Dishes, Are Fit Only To Be Scullions.

A Judicious Silence Is Always Better Than Truth Spoken Without Charity.
