“Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you are so angry, so depressed and so sore that your spirit cannot find deliverance and peace even in prayer, then quickly go and give some pleasure to someone lowly or sorrowful, or to a guilty or innocent sufferer! Sacrifice yourself, your talent, your time, your rest to another, to one who has to bear a heavier load than you -- and your unhappy mood will dissolve into a blessed, contented submission to God.”

“ One must see in every human being only that which is worthy
of praise. When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole human

.....Thus is it incumbent upon us, when we direct our gaze toward
other people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.
