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

“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.”

“Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself...do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage.”

“If God has the sufferings of his Son in store for you and wants to let you touch with your own finger your own weakness, it is better to make an act of humility than to lose courage.”

“The only rule is, do what you really, impulsively, wish to do. But always act on your own responsibility, sincerely. And have the courage of your own strong emotion.”

“Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life and it’d lose even its imperfection.”
