Learn to grapple with souls.
Aim at the conscience.
Exalt Christ.
Use a sharp knife with yourself.
Say little, serve all, pass on.

This is true greatness, to serve unnoticed and work unseen.

Oh, the joy of having nothing and being nothing, seeing nothing but a living Christ in glory, and being careful for nothing but His interests down here.
