Do not concern yourself with anxiety for the show of a great name.

Who has a harder fight than he who is striving to overcome self?

We should have great peace if we did not busy ourselves with what others say and do.

All perfection in this life is attended by some imperfection, and all our farseeing is not without obscurity.

If you wish to stand and progress as you ought, hold yourself an exile and a pilgrim on the earth.

When a man is out of sight, it is not too long before he is out of mind.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble and attempts what is above its strength.

Love is mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes the rough places smooth.

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth; for love is born of God.

Watch for good times to retreat into yourself. Frequently meditate on how good God is to you.
