If God is the Supreme good then our highest blessedness on earth must lie in knowing Him as perfectly as possible.

Do not allow the enemy of your soul to rob you of that unique quality God has breathed into you.

[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.

Man for all his genius is but an echo of the original Voice, a reflection of the uncreated Light.

Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness... Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company.

No one is a friend to the man with a cross.
