Turn a deaf ear to the things that disturb your peace of mind.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
