"Maxims for Her Nuns" in Complete Works St. Teresa of Avila (1963)
~Never exaggerate, but express your feelings with moderation.
~Never affirm anything unless you are sure it is true.
~Always think of yourself as everyone's servant; look for Christ Our Lord in everyone and you will then have respect and reverence for them all.
~Reflect upon the providence and wisdom of God in all created things and praise Him in them all.'
~Never compare one person with another: comparisons are odious.
~Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
~Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
