When kings interfere in matters of religion, they enslave instead of protecting it.

Can we be unsafe where God has placed us, and where He watches over us as a parent a child that he loves?

No human power can force the intrenchments of the human mind: compulsion never persuades; it only makes hypocrites.

God is our true Friend, who always gives us the counsel and comfort we need. Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us.

Resign every forbidden joy; restrain every wish that is not referred to God's will; banish all eager desires, all anxiety; desire only the will of God; seek him alone and supremely, and you will find peace.

Genuine good taste consists in saying much in few words, in choosing among our thoughts, in having order and arrangement in what we say, and in speaking with composure.

The wind of God is always blowing... but you must hoist your sail.
