Though Perseverance Does Not Come From Our

Be Who You Are And Do That Well.

Have Jesus Always For Your Patron, His Cross For A Mast On Which You Must Spread Your Resolutions As A Sail. Your Anchor Shall Be A Profound Confidence In Him, And You Shall Sail Prosperously.

The Whole World Is Not Worth One Soul.

Do Not Desire Crosses, Unless You Have Borne Those Already Laid Upon You Well — It Is An Abuse To Long After Martyrdom While Unable To Bear An Insult Patiently.

The Merit Of The Cross Does Not Consist In Its Heaviness, But In The Manner In Which We Carry It. I Would Even Say That It Is Sometimes More Virtuous To Carry A Cross Of Straw Than A Heavy Cross Because We Have To Be More Attentive For Fear Of Losing It.
