“Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.What is anything in life compared to peace of soul?”

“Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.”

“Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them—every day begin the task anew.”

“The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and every day.Either he will shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.Be at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.”

“The whole world is not worth one soul.”

“Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections.”

“You are going to take the high sea of the world; change not, on that account, patron or sails, anchor or wind. Have Jesus always for your patron, His Cross for a mast on which you must spread your resolutions as a sail. Your anchor shall be a profound confidence in Him, and you shall sail prosperously.May the favorable wind of celestial inspirations ever fill your vessel's sails fuller and fuller and make you happily arrive at the port of a holy eternity.”
