Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children.
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.
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.
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.
Ask, and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
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.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
