Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

Have patience with all things,
But, first of all with yourself.

While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.

Be who you are and be that well.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently and replace it tenderly in its Master's presence. And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back and place it again in Our Lord's presence, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.

Courage

Reputation is rarely proportioned to virtue.

Dyd

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.

Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.

There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love -- every man works his oar voluntarily!

The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example. It is faithful and tenderly loving to the female of its choice, mating only every third year and then for no more than five days, and so secretly as never to be seen, until, on the sixth day, it appears and goes at once to wash its whole body in the river, unwilling to return to the herd until thus purified. Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife.
