With God there is no need for long speeches.

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

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.

The great method of prayer is to have none. If in going to prayer one can form in oneself a pure capacity for receiving the spirit of God, that will suffice for all method.

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.

An evil discovered is half healed.

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.
