How beautiful then is modesty and what a gem among virtues it is.

As patience leads to peace, and study to science, so are humiliations the path that leads to humility.

Believe one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in the books. The trees and the rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the masters.

Jesus to me is honey in the mouth, music in the ear, a song in the heart.

Death is the gate of life. Ingratitude is the soul's enemy... Ingratitude is a burning wind that dries up the source of love, the dew of mercy, the streams of grace. You will find something far greater in the woods than you will find in books. Stones and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.

We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.

The measure of love is love without measure.
