God is so good that He only awaits our desire to overwhelm us with the gift of himself.

Good taste rejects excessive nicety.

If we had strength and faith enough to trust ourselves entirely to God; and follow Him simply wherever He should lead us, we should have no need of any great effort of mind to reach perfection.

That love of self, which the world advocates, is a thousand times more dangerous than any poison.

Crosses are of no use to us but inasmuch as we yield ourselves up to them and forget ourselves.

The history of the world suggests that without love of God there is little likelihood of a love for man that does not become corrupt.

Let us pray God that He would root out of our hearts every thing of our own planting, and set out there, with His own hands, the tree of life, bearing all manner of fruits.
