Measuring Our Words
[N]ever a quick or angry word except against the profaners of the temple, against hypocrites and great men who abused the authority they possessed . . . Is it thus that we speak? Do we measure our words in such a manner as never to give pain to our neighbor, and to render him, on the contrary, happy in his relations with us?
Is our conversation equally removed from the affected elegance which is unpleasant, and from the frivolous language ill suited to a good Christian?
-- Hamon, Meditations

Christian Civility
He was faithful to the rules of courtesy and good breeding . . . making Himself little with the little, and knowing how to show His grandeur at the table of the pharisee.

Temper
In Him there was a serenity of disposition that nothing could trouble; He is the same when He is blamed as when He is praised, when He is insulted as when He is honored, when the people wish to stone Him as when they wish to make him king, when the crowd presses upon Him and hustles Him (Luke 8:45) as when He is alone in the desert or on the mountain.
What a beautiful example for us, above all for persons subject to bad temper who are the dishonor of devotion, angels in church, and disagreeable at home! Are we not of this number?
