The most holy and important practice in the spiritual life is the presence of God - that is, every moment to take great pleasure that God is with you

That we should feed and nourish our souls with high notions of GOD; which would yield us great joy in being devoted to Him.

Do not be discouraged by the resistance you will encounter from your human nature; you must go against your human inclinations. Often, in the beginning, you will think that you are wasting time, but you must go on, be determined and persevere in it until death, despite all the difficulties.

That there needed neither art nor science for going to GOD, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, or for His sake, and to love Him only.

Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God's presence

God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.

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