Being and Doing – 28 February – Patience
IF thou wilt thyself be borne with, bear also with another.
IF thou wilt thyself be borne with, bear also with another.
WHILE you have any love in you exercise it, make the most of it, feed it by the sight of good things and by imitation of good deeds.
IF you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness
We find it difficult to think well of those by whom we are thwarted or depressed, and we are ready to admit every excuse for the vices of those who are useful or agreeable to us.
OUR private severity against sinners should be ever checked by the remembrance of our own sin.
FOR every vexation caused by people, the great balm is love
‘Life is too hard work in itself to let one stop to hate and suspect people.’
TRUE forgiveness involves two things, a perfect knowledge of the offence and a perfect restoration of love.
THE best way of revenge is not to imitate the Injury.
…if fools will laugh, wise men will do well to let them.
