Turn a deaf ear to the things that disturb your peace of mind.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
