There are two ways in which we may attain control over our activity. The first is confidence in the power of our own will; to know that if we have failed today, tomorrow we will not do so. The second is to have our eyes wide open, and to watch keenly our activity in all aspects of life. It is in the dark that we fall, but in the light we can see where we are going.

We are always searching for God afar off, when all the while He is nearer to us than our own soul.

The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.

He who with sincerity seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose.

As long as in love there is "you" and "me," love is not fully kindled.

If you will not rise above the things of this world, they will rise above you.
