The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.

Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.

In the way of God, thoughts count very little. Love does it all.

Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.

Let us think often that our only business in this life is to please God. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.

The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.
