My Child, It Will Be Better For

It Is Vanity To Desire A Long Life And To Take No Heed Of A Good Life.

Out Of Two Evils, The Less Is Always To Be Chosen.

Endeavor To Be Patient In Bearing With The Defects And Infirmities Of Others, Of What Sort 'soever They Be; For That Thyself Also Has Many Failings Which Must Be Borned With By Others.

There Is No Man In This World Without Some Manner Of Tribulation Or Anguish, Though He Be King Or Pope.

In The Cross Is Salvation; In The Cross Is Life; In The Cross Is Protection Against Our Enemies; In The Cross Is Infusion Of Heavenly Sweetness; In The Cross Is Strength Of Mind; In The Cross Is Joy Of Spirit; In The Cross Is Excellence Of Virtue; In The Cross Is Perfection Of Holiness. There Is No Salvation Of Soul, Nor Hope Of Eternal Life, Save In The Cross.
