Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
From Thomas a Kempis
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.
How seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves.
If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?
He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.
Man proposes, but God disposes.
It is much safer to obey than to rule.
A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
