Place your hope of peace not in men but in God alone.
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.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
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.
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 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.
