Let no one ask a stronger mark of an excellent love to God, than that we are insensible to our own reputation.

Prayer is the key of perfection and of sovereign happiness; it is the efficacious means of getting rid of all vices and of acquiring all virtues; for the way to become perfect is to live in the presence of God.

God's designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.

Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow!

We must forget ourselves and all self-interest, and listen, and be attentive to God.

Our activity should consist in placing ourselves in a state of susceptibility to Divine impressions, and pliability to all the operations of the Eternal Word.

Oh, that we fully understood how very opposite our self-righteousness is to the designs of God!
