There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.

To worship God is to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself.

The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.

GOD will not permit that a soul which desires to be devoted entirely to Him should take other pleasures than with Him: that is more than reasonable.

Let all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love: and if our love of GOD were great, we should love Him equally in pains and pleasures.

If we knew how much He loves us, we should be always ready to receive equally and with indifference from His hand the sweet and the bitter; all would please that came from Him.

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