Wherever...thou shalt be, pray secretly within thyself. If thou shalt be far from a house of prayer, give not thyself trouble to seek for one, for thou thyself art a sanctuary designed for prayer. If thou shalt be in bed, or in any other place, pray there; thy temple is there.

The reason for our loving God is God.

Therefore gird yourselves manfully and take up joyful arms for the name of God.

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

We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable.

There is no greater misery than false joys.

The more I contemplate God, the more God looks on me. The more I pray to him, the more he thinks of me too.
