The devil does not tempt unbelievers and sinners who are already his own.
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
Always be ready; always live in such a way that death can never find you unprepared.
Do not interfere when your opinion is not sought.
We should have much more peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others.
Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.
Be assured that if you knew all, you would pardon all.
Remain tranquil and prepare to bear still greater trials. All is not lost even though you be troubled oftener or tempted more grievously. You are a man, not God. You are flesh, not an angel. How can you possibly expect to remain always in the same state of virtue when the angels in heaven and the first man in paradise failed to do so? I am He who rescues the afflicted and brings to My divinity those who know their own weakness.
Love makes everything that is heavy light.
The measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity - adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.
Learn to humble yourself, you are but earth and clay.
We must imitate Christ's life and his ways if we are to be truly enlightened and set free from the darkness of our own hearts. Let it be the most important thing we do, then, to reflect on the life of Jesus Christ.
Occasions do not make a man either strong or weak but they show what he is.
The Lord has many lovers of His crown but few lovers of His Cross.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
God often gives in one brief moment that which He has for a long time denied.
What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others, only for yourself.
O Lord, Thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as Thou shalt please. Give what Thou wilt, how much Thou wilt, and when Thou wilt. Deal with me as thou thinkest best. Place me where Thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as Thou wilt. Behold, I am Thy servant, prepared for all things: I desire not to live unto myself, but unto Thee; and oh, that I could do it worthily and perfectly!
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.
Temptations discover what you are.
We would willingly have others perfect, and yet we amend not our own faults. We would have others severely corrected and will not be corrected ourselves. The large liberty of others displeases us, and yet we will not have our own desires denied us. We will have others kept under by strict laws, but in no sort will ourselves be restrained. And thus it appears how seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
He will be with you also, all the way, that faithful God. Every morning when you awaken to the old and tolerable pain, at every mile of the hot uphill dusty road of tiring duty, on to the judgment seat, the same Christ there as ever, still loving you, still sufficient for you, even then. And then, on through all eternity.
Confidence is the illusion born of accidental success.
