Love must not touch the marrow of the soul. Our affections must be breakable chains that we can cast them off or tighten them.
The divine power moves with difficulty, but at the same time surely.
Rightness of judgment is bitterness to the heart.
What we look for does not come to pass; God finds a way for what none foresaw.
It would not be better if men got what they wanted.
Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm.
