However slight the services we render to the Blessed Virgin Mary, they
are always dear to God, and He rewards them with eternal glory.--_St.
Teresa._
When you find yourself in any great difficulty, do not take any step
without having first considered eternity.--_St. Francis of Sales._
He who is capable of exercising mildness in sufferings, generosity
under ill-treatment, and peace amidst discord, is almost perfect.
Mildness, sweetness of heart, and evenness of temper are virtues as
rare as is the virtue of chastity.--_The same._
