In the Cross is salvation; in the Cross is life; in the Cross is protection against our enemies; in the Cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the Cross is strength of mind; in the Cross is joy of spirit; in the Cross is excellence of virtue; in the Cross is perfection of holiness. There is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the Cross.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.

Without the way, there is no going; without the truth, there is no knowing; without the life, there is no living.

Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.

It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
