“In omnibus requiem quaesivi, sed non inveni, nisi in hoexkens ende boexkens""I have sought everywhere for peace, but I have found it not save in a little nook and in a little book.”

“In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro.(Everywhere I have sought peace and not found it, except in a corner with a book.)”

“In omnibus requiem quaesivi, et nusquam inveni nisi in angulo cum libro”

“A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.”

“Every time I catch myself trying to figure out other people's motives, I'll stop and ask myself: "What did I say or do that prompted the action? Why did I react to it as I did? Does what happened make a major difference to me, or am I making something big out of a trifle?"Leave off that excessive desire of knowing; therein is found much distraction There are many things the knowledge of which is of little or no profit to the soul.”

“He who shunneth not small faults falleth little by little into greater.”

“It is a hard thing to break through a habit and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles how wilt thou overcome greater ones Withstand thy will at the beginning and unlearn an evil habit lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring ...and what joy to others methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.”
