For A General Rule You May Be Sure That Complaining Is Sin
Complain as little as possible of your wrongs,
for as a general rule you may be sure that complaining is sin; the rather that
self-love always magnifies our injuries: above all, do not complain to people
who are easily angered and excited. If it is needful to complain to someone,
either as seeking a remedy for your injury, or in order to soothe your mind,
let it be to some calm, gentle spirit, greatly filled with the Love of God; for
otherwise, instead of relieving your heart, your confidants will only provoke
it to still greater disturbance; instead of taking out the thorn which pricks
you, they will drive it further into your foot. – Saint Francis de Sales

There Is Nothing More Nauseating Than A Fickle, Frivolous, Haughty Woman
There is nothing more nauseating than a woman, especially if she is married, who is fickle, frivolous and haughty. The Christian wife must be woman of sound piety towards God, an angel of peace in the family, dignified and pleasant towards others. - Saint Padre Pio
