Man's sensitivity to the little things and insensitivity to the greatest are the signs of a strange disorder.

We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave us at peace in our vices, but that He may deliver us from them.

Wisdom leads us back to childhood.

It has pleased God that divine verities should not enter the heart through the understanding, but the understanding through the heart.

If a man is not made for God, why is he happy only in God?

Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.
