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.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
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.
