List of points

Serenity. Why lose your temper if by doing so you offend God, annoy other people, upset yourself… and have to find it again in the end?

Say what you have just said, but in a different tone, without anger, and your argument will gain in strength and, above all, you won't offend God.

Never correct anyone while you are still indignant about a fault committed. Wait until the next day, or even longer. And then, calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You will gain more by one friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. Control your temper.

Don't waste your time and your energy — which belong to God — throwing stones at the dogs that bark at you on your way. Ignore them.

Don't argue. Arguing seldom brings light, for the light is quenched by passion.

Why that rushing around? Don't tell me that it is activity: it is thoughtlessness.

I want you to be happy always, for cheerfulness is an essential part of your way.

Pray that the same supernatural joy may be granted to us all.
