When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
From Saint Francis de Sales
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
Be who you are and be that well.
Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.
There was never an angry man that thought his anger unjust.
The thoughts of those moved by natural human love are almost completely fastened on the beloved, their hearts are filled with passion for it, and their mouths full of its praises.
The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them.
To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.
True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
