God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him

Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.

There is nothing that is more dangerous to your own salvation, more unworthy of God and more harmful to your own happiness, than that you should be content to remain as you are.

I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.

I would have every minister of the gospel address his audience with the zeal of a friend, with the generous energy of a father, and with the exuberant affection of a mother.

He who prays without confidence cannot hope that his prayers will be granted.

To pray is to desire; but it is to desire what God would have us desire.
