"Our faults, even those most difficult to bear, will all be of service to us if we make use of them for our growth in humility [...] It does no good to be discouraged. Discouragement is the result of a disappointed and despairing self-love [...] You will find by experience how much more your progress will be aided by this single, peaceful turning to God, than by all your chagrin and spite at the faults that exist in you."
- Fenelon, from Christian Counsel 6 & 12
