Sayings of Saint Philip Neri:
He who cannot put up with the loss of his honour, can never make any advance in spiritual things.
If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a crucifix, and think that Christ has shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave his enemies, but prayed the Eternal Father to forgive them also.
Let a man always think that he has God before his eyes.
In dealing with our neighbour, we must assume as much pleasantness of manner as we can, and by this affability win him to the way of virtue.

Take heart! You are far more holy than I.
