The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it.
If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.
Lord, save all the elect, and then elect some more.
If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.
You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.
