It should be our principal business to conquer ourselves,
and, from day to day, to go on increasing in strength and perfection. Above all, however, it is necessary for us to
strive to conquer our little temptations, such as fits of anger, suspicions,
jealousies, envy, deceitfulness, vanity, attachments, and evil thoughts. For in
this way we shall acquire strength to subdue greater ones.
~ St. Francis De
Sales
