就如努力驅逐邪念的人，在天堂獲得巨大獎賞， 對善念置若罔聞的人，冒墮入大惡的凶險。

盡量避免懈怠，因其是萬惡之源。 As far as possible give no foothold to sloth, the source of all evils.

事情經過討論及決定，切勿執行，考慮一天再說。 When an affair has been discussed and decided, do not act until you have slept on it.

那些對天主的事務過度謹慎的人，絕少做任何偉大及英勇的事；一個懼怕可能發生極小困難的人，不會負起責任。

假如朝廷有人，為贏得塵世皇帝的歡心，服從他的命令，更忠於你對天上君主所做的，為中悅於祂，應把自己看作一文不值、心胸狹窄、怯懦及怠惰。

推動你作抉擇的聖神， 會輕易提供選擇的型態和方式。 The Holy Ghost, who moves you to make your choice, will easily supply the manner and form of the choice。

悔罪應該包括懺悔、告明及補贖。 Penitence should include contrition of heart, confession of the lips, and satisfaction in act.

莫得罪人，如果冒犯敵人，尤其會阻擋我們更能侍奉天主和熱心公眾福利。

敬酒不喝，喝罰酒。 When kindness toward a man turns out useless, severity will be useful as an example to others.

需勉力注意：以愛待人，彼此之間自然友愛。 Attend as much as you can to this, that you regard one another kindly, so that there may be natural love between you.

未曾詢辨主旨，不應承擔任務。 Undertake nothing without consulting God.
