First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
