You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
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.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
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.
