The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.

The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.

Love is the only fire that is hot enough to melt the iron obstinacy of a creatures's will.

Transiency is stamped on all our possessions, occupations, and delights. We have the hunger for eternity in our souls, the thought of eternity in our hearts, the destination for eternity written on our inmost being, and the need to ally ourselves with eternity proclaimed by the most short-lived trifles of time. Either these things will be the blessing or the curse of our lives. Which do yon mean that they shall be for you?

Let the current of your being set towards God, then your life will be filled and calmed by one master-passion which unites and stills the soul.

Let me always remember that it is not the amount of religious knowledge which I have, but the amount which I use, that determines my religious position and character.

If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it.
