Anxieties and troubles…
Don’t be discouraged by anxieties and troubles. Life is full of them.
— Saint John Baptist de la Salle (1651-1719)
Thanks and yes…
To everything that has been – Thanks.
For everything that will be – Yes.
— Dag Hammarskjold (1905-1961)
There is no one…
There is no one who is without faults, and who is not in some way a burden to others, whether he is a superior or a subject, an old man or a young one, a scholar or a dunce.
— Saint Robert Bellermine (1542-1621)

True patience is to suffer the wrongs done to us by others in an unruffled spirit and without feeling resentment. Patience bears with others because it loves them; to bear with them and yet to hate them is not the virtue of patience but a smokescreen for anger.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
Having no other…
Indeed, having no other choice, but that up ardently reaching after Him, of dwelling ever with Him, and in sinking into nothingness before Him, we should accept indiscriminately all His dispensations, whether obscurity or illumination, fruitfulness or barrenness, weakness or strength, sweetness or bitterness, temptations, distractions, pain, weariness, or doubts; and none of these should, for one moment, retard our course.
–Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717)
Take the days…
Take the days as they come, the good with a grateful heart, and the bad for the sake of those which follow, because misfortune is only a passerby.
–Blessed Titus Brandsma (1881–1942)
