"He does much who loves much. He does much who does a thing well. He well who serves the common good rather than his own interests."
"If , after being admonished once of twice, a person does not amend, do not argue with him, but commit the whole matter to God, that His will and honor may be furthered in all His servants, for God knows well how to turn evil to good. Try to bear patiently with the defects and infirmities of others, whatever they may be, because you also have many a fault which others must endure." -Thomas a' Kempis
