He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.
Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.
Oh, how swiftly the glory of the world passes away!
A humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than a deep search after learning.
Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
I would far rather feel remorse than know how to define it.
