There is no true and constant gentleness without humility.  While we are so fond of ourselves, we are easily offended with others.  Let us be persuaded that nothing is due to us, and then nothing will disturb us.  Let us often think of our own infirmities, and we shall become indulgent towards those of others.

François Fénelon

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2
The Revised Standard Version

For silence is not God, nor speaking is not God; fasting is not God, nor eating is not God; loneliness is not God, nor company is not God; nor yet any of all the other two such contraries.  He is hid between them, and may not be found by any work of thy soul, but all only by love of thine heart.
