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.

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

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

The more wants we have, the further we are from God, and the nearer we approach him, the better can we dispense with everything that is not Himself.

We never know how strongly we cling to objects until they are taken away, and he who thinks htat he is attached to nothing, is frequently grandly mistaken, being bound to a thousand things, unknown to himself.

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

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