there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection
except at the price of pain\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best means of guarding yourself against temptation are the following: watch your senses to save them from dangerous temptation, avoid vanity,do not let your heart become exalted, convince yourself of the evil of complacency, flee away from hate, Pray whenever possible.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
