happiness time reflection
The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.
fighting victory labor
Without labor there is no rest, nor without fighting can the victory be won.
humility men wish
Study to do another's will rather than thine own. Choose ever to have less rather than more. Seek ever the lower place and to be subject to all; ever wish and pray that the will of God may be perfectly done in thee and in all. Behold such a man enters the bounds of peace and calm.
might wells
Would to God that we might spend a single day really well!
passion thinking zeal
We are often moved with passion and think it to be zeal.
fighting men lust
The good devout man first makes inner preparation for the actions he has later to perform. His outward actions do not draw him into lust and vice; rather it is he who bends them into the shape of reason and right judgement. Who has a stiffer battle to fight than the man who is striving to conquer himself.
running rejoice
Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back.
ifs all-things thyself
If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldst, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?
death dying nemo
No one can obtain from the Pope a dispensation for never dying. [Lat., Nemo impetrare potest a papa bullam numquam moriendi.]
god men propose
Man proposes, but God disposes. [Lat., Nam homo proponit, sed Deus disponit.]
overcoming habit
Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.]
art born labor
Why seekest thou rest, since thou art born to labor? [Lat., Cur quaeris quietem, quam natus sis ad laborem?]
redemption salvation crosses
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
imperfection chance opinion
Our own opinion of ourselves should be lower than that formed by others, for we have a better chance at our imperfections.
