To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.

We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
