Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back. — Thomas a Kempis. German canon regular (c. 1380–1471)
Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.
Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.
Endeavor to be always patient of the faults and imperfections of others for thou has many faults and imperfections of thine own that require forbearance. If thou are not able to make thyself that which thou wishest, how canst thou expect to mold another in conformity to thy will?
