Man is an organ of life, and God alone is life.

Angels never attack, as infernal spirits do. Angels only ward off and defend.

Men live a moral life, either from regard to the Diving Being, or from regard to the opinion of the people in the world; and when a moral life is practised out of regard to the Divine Being, it is a spiritual life. Both appear alike in their outward form; but in their inward, they are completely different. The one saves a man, but the other does not; for he that leads a moral life out of regard to the Divine Being is led by him, but he who does so from regard to the opinion of people in the world is led by himself.

I am well aware that many will say that no one can possibly speak with spirits and angels so long as he lives in the body; and many will say that it is all fancy, others that I relate such things in order to gain credence, and others will make other objections.

One's distance from Heaven is in proportion to the measure of one's self-love.

Anyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.

Our love is our life itself. What our love is like determines how we live and therefore everything about what we are as human beings.
