"I have often thought, that if I were to choose a food to eat, it should be bread and water."

"Though I am always in haste, I am never in a hurry."

"Beware of that smooth, plausible, pleasing voice, 'You may be saved, though you keep your sins.'"

"I have learned to suffer in silence, and not to make my complaints known to any but God."

"Diseases are the instruments of God to punish men for their sins."
