Surrender yourselves then to be led and disposed of just as God pleases, with respect both to your outward and inward state.

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.

Self-seeking is the gate by which a soul departs from peace; and total abandonment to the will of God, that by which it returns.

The only way to Heaven is prayer; a prayer of the heart, which every one is capable of, and not of reasonings which are the fruits of study, or exercise of the imagination, which, in filling the mind with wandering objects, rarely settle it; instead of warming the heart with love to God, they leave it cold and languishing.

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

To rob God of nothing; to refuse Him nothing; to require of Him nothing; this is great perfection.

He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.
