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.

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.
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.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
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.
Grant me, O God, strength and courage to restrain the desires of my heart, that I may be free to possess you, Amen.
