對待惡人要像慈母憐恤病孩， 無論強壯、健康、病弱，都熱切撫愛。 Act toward the wicked like the loving mother who is tormented with pity for her sick child, and caresses him with no less ardor when he is ill than when he is strong and well.

救靈的工人應為人的緣故，努力使自己被天主及人所接納；並按近人的進步，調整神聖榮譽的熱忱。 Workers for the salvation of souls ought so to labor as to make themselves acceptable not only to God but also to men for his sake; and regulate their zeal for the divine honor by their neighbor’s progress.

天主慣常賦與事物重大價值， 使之與祂給合，成為行善的工具。 It is God’s habit to put just so much value on anything as that thing is joined to him as an instrument for doing good.

錯過即時事奉天主的機會，希望將來成就更大 事業是愚蠢的：因為可能兩者皆失。 It is stupid to neglect an immediate opportunity of serving God in the hope of doing something greater in future: for it may well be that you will lose the one without gaining the other.

生命的德行及神聖，無論為人為神， 都能做很多事，幾乎遍及一切。 Virtue and holiness of life can do a great deal, almost everything, with men, as well as with God.

日機萬理，與人周旋，但沒疏離天主或自己，是偉大及罕有的藝術。 To do many things and to mix with many people, yet not to turn aside from either God or oneself, is a great and rare art.

按俗世的看光，再沒有比看到修道人分黨分派，更為可鄙。 Nothing makes religious more contemptible in the world’s eyes than to see them divided into parties and sects among themselves.

尋求引領所有人走同一救贖之路非常危險，他不明白聖神的恩賜何等繁茂多姿。 To seek to bring all men to salvation by one road is very dangerous. He who does so fails to understand how many and various are the gifts of the Holy Ghost.

那些自認充滿聖神的人，渴望管理靈魂， 大錯特錯！ How greatly mistaken are those who, while thinking themselves to be full of the spirit, are eager for the government of souls!
