Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.

Do not let your peace depend on the words of men. Their thinking well or badly of you does not make you different from what you are. Where are true peace and glory? Are they not in Me? He who neither cares to please men nor fears to displease them will enjoy great peace, for all unrest and distraction of the senses arise out of disorderly love and vain fear.

He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.

All men desire peace, but very few desire those things that make for peace.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
