The end of creation is that all things may return to the Creator and be united with Him.

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.

If love is not married to wisdom (or if goodness is not married to truth), it cannot accomplish anything.

For in every particular of the Word there is an internal sense which treats of things spiritual and heavenly, not of things natural and worldly, such as are treated of in the sense of the letter.

In a word, to grow old in heaven is to grow young.

This I can declare: things that are in heaven are more real than things that are in the world.

Worship does not consist in prayers and in external devotion, but in a life of kindness.
