People who have no secrets from each other never want for a subject of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back, neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of their heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.

I no longer desire anything but to be Thine.

We are not to choose the manner in which our blessings shall be bestowed.

All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

If we were faultless, we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate. If we were to acknowledge honestly that we have not virtue enough to bear patiently with our neighbor's weaknesses, we should show our own imperfection, and this alarms our vanity.

We can often do more for other men by trying to correct our own faults than by trying to correct theirs.

You really don't even own the present moment, for even this belongs to God.
