If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.
First keep peace with yourself, then you can also bring peace to others.

He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men. He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.
Man sees your actions, but God your motives.
