   1. All our good and all our evil certainly lies in the character of   
   our actions. As they are, so are we; for we are the tree, and they the   
   fruit, and, therefore, they prove what each one is.   
   --St. Augustine   
      
   A servant of God, at the point of death, once spoke thus: "Now I know   
   that totum opus nostrum in operatione consistit--our actions are our   
   sole concern."   
      
   St. Aloysius Gonzaga set down in writing a resolution that he would do   
   all in his power that everyone of his actions might be good, and bring   
   him nearer to God.   
      
   St. Bonaventure used to excite himself and others to constant   
   occupation in good works by often repeating this beautiful sentiment:   
   Every hour that we waste in sloth, we lose a glory equal to the good   
   works we might have performed in it.
