He who is not getting better is getting worse.

If one fears men much he will never do anything great for God: all that one does for God arouses persecution.

To conquer himself is the greatest victory that man can gain.

One must wage war against his predominant passion and not retreat until, with God's help, he has been victorious.

We should not have a petty regard for God's gifts, though we may and should despise our own imperfections.

The more completely we focus our attention on our Creator and Lord, the less chance there is of our being distracted by creatures.

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