Hell is full of the talented, but Heaven of the energetic.

In prayer one must hold fast and never let go, because the one who gives up loses all. If it seems that no one is listening to you, then cry out even louder. If you are driven out of one door, go back in by the other.

Hold your eyes on God and leave the doing to him. That is all the doing you have to worry about.

Must you continue to be your own cross? No matter which way God leads you, you change everything into bitterness by constantly brooding over everything. For the love of God, replace all this self-scrutiny with a pure and simple glance at God's goodness.

Follow your own way of speaking to our Lord sincerely, lovingly, confidently, and simply, as your heart dictates.

Cordial love of the neighbor does not consist in feelings. This love flows not from a heart of flesh but from the heart of our will.

Is there world enough for me?
