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

we must be as satisfied to be powerless, idle and still before God, and dried up and barren when He permits it, as to be full of life, enjoying His presence with ease and devotion. The whole matter of our union with God consists in being content either way.

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.

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

An evil discovered is half healed.

Suffering borne in the will quietly and patiently is a continual, very powerful prayer before God.

Is there world enough for me?
