You are my hope and my refuge in the day of my trouble.
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.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
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 feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
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.
