Trouble That Is Easily Recognized Is Half-cured.

Have Patience With All Things, But, First Of All With Yourself.

To Be Pleased At Correction And Reproofs Shows That One Loves The Virtues Which Are Contrary To Those Faults For Which He Is Corrected And Reproved. And, Therefore, It Is A Great Sign Of Advancement In Perfection.

The Lord Delights In Every Little Step You Take.

Marital Intercourse Is Certainly Holy, Lawful And Praiseworthy In Itself And Profitable To Society, Yet In Certain Circumstances It Can Prove Dangerous, As When Through Excess The Soul Is Made Sick With Venial Sin, Or Through The Violation And Perversion Of Its Primary End, Killed By Mortal Sin; Such Perversion, Detestable In Proportion To Its Departure From The True Order, Being Always Mortal Sin, For It Is Never Lawful To Exclude The Primary End Of Marriage Which Is The Procreation Of Children.

Without A Doubt, One Of The Things Which Keeps Us From Attaining Perfection Is Our Tongue. When One Has Reached The Point Of No Longer Committing Faults In Speech, He Has Surely Reached Perfection, As Was Said By The Holy Spirit. The Worst Defect In Talking Is Talking Too Much. Hence, In Speech Be Brief And Virtuous, Brief And Gentle, Brief And Simple, Brief And Charitable, Brief And Amiable.
