Humility is, of all graces, the chiefest when it does not know itself to be a grace at all.

Many appear full of mildness and sweetness as long as everything goes their own way; but the moment any contradiction or adversity arises, they are in a flame, and begin to rage like a burning mountain. Such people as these are like red-hot coals hidden under ashes. This is not the mildness which Our Lord undertook to teach us in order to make us like unto Himself.

When God forgives a sinner who humbly confesses his sin, the devil loses his dominion over the heart he had taken.

God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.

What I know of the divine sciences and Holy Scriptures, I learned in woods and fields. I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.

The measure of love is love without measure.

Humility is, of all graces, the chiefest when it does not know itself to be a grace at all.
