In the case of those who are making progress from good to better, the good angel touches the soul gently, lightly, sweetly, as a drop of water enters a sponge, while the evil spirit touches it sharply, with noise and disturbance, like a drop of water falling on a rock.

Remember that the good angels do what they can to preserve men from sin and obtain God's honor. But they do not lose courage when men fail.

Idleness is hells fishhook for catching souls.

God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

Pray as if God will take care of all; act as if all is up to you.

Do not put faith in constant happiness, and fear most when all smiles upon you.

Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love.
