January 31st
Book Two, Chapter 6
Of the Joy of a Good Conscience

An evil conscience is always fearful and unquiet; sweetly shall you rest, if your heart upbraids you not....Great tranquility of heart has he who cares neither for praise nor blame.  Easily will he be content and at peace whose conscience is undefiled.  You are not more holy for being praised, nor the worse for being blamed.  What you art, you are; nor can you be said to be greater than God sees you to be.  If you attend diligently to what you are interiorly, you will not regard what men say of you.
