"He who wishes to be perfectly obeyed, should give but few orders."
St Philip Neri

"The essence of perfection is to embrace the will of God in all things, prosperous or adverse. In prosperity, even sinners find it easy to unite themselves to the divine will; but it takes saints to unite themselves to God's will when things go wrong and are painful to self-love. Our conduct in such instances is the measure of our love of God."
St Alphonsus de Liguori

"Men should often renew their good resolutions, and not lose heart because they are tempted against them."
St Philip Neri
