Let nothing trouble you - St Teresa of Ávila

Let nothing trouble you.
Let nothing scare you.
All is fleeting.
God alone is unchanging.
Patience
Everything obtains.
Who possesses God
Nothing wants.
God alone suffices.

St Teresa of Ávila (Teresa Sánchez de Cepeda y Ahumada) (1515 – 1582) Spain
Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh and Otilio Rodriquez
