How Does Our Will Become

We Can Often Do More For Other Men By Trying To Correct Our Own Faults Than By Trying To Correct Theirs.

You Really Don't Even Own The Present Moment, For Even This Belongs To God.

When We Are Truly In This Interior Simplicity Our Whole Appearance Is Franker, More Natural. This True Simplicity. . . Makes Us Conscious Of A Certain Openness, Gentleness, Innocence, Gaiety, And Serenity. O, How Amiable This Simplicity Is! Who Will Give It To Me? I Leave All For This. It Is The Pearl Of The Gospel.

Had We Not Faults Of Our Own, We Should Take Less Pleasure In Complaining Of Others.

If We Were Faultless, We Should Not Be So Much Annoyed By The Defects Of Those With Whom We Associate. If We Were To Acknowledge Honestly That We Have Not Virtue Enough To Bear Patiently With Our Neighbor's Weaknesses, We Should Show Our Own Imperfection, And This Alarms Our Vanity.
