You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
