I saw a point that shone with light so keen, the eye that sees it cannot bear its blazing; the star that is for us the smallest one would seem a moon if placed beside this point.

It was the hour of morning, when the sun mounts with those stars that shone with it when God's own love first set in motion those fair things

He who know most grieves most for wasted time.

To run over better waters the little vessel of my genius now hoists her sails, as she leaves behind her a sea so cruel.

I care not where my body may take me as long as my soul is embarked on a meaningful journey.

Infinite goodness has such wide arms.

Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow; the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.
