Make this simple rule the guide of your life: to have no will but God's.
Oh! how seldom the soul is silent, in order that God may speak.
The most essential point is lowliness.
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.
Had we not faults of our own, we should take less pleasure in complaining of others.
Simplicity is that grace which frees the soul from all unnecessary reflections upon itself.
