Book 1 Chapter 10
On Avoiding Superfluous Words
Flee as much as possible the company of worldly people. For discussing worldly matters, no matter how good the intention, is a great obstacle to the spiritual life. If we are not careful, we can be easily deceived and attracted by the vanity of the world. Often I regret the things I have said and wished that I had not spent so much time in worldly company.

Book 1 Chapter 7
On False Confidence and Arrogance
It is foolish to put your trust in humans or in any creature for that matter. Why should you mind serving others or being poor in the eyes of the world, as long as you do it for the love of Jesus Christ? Put all your confidence in God, but do not trust yourself. Do what you can to please Him and He will reward you well for your good will.
