I have never found any who prayed so well as those who had never been taught how. They who have no master in man, have one in the Holy Spirit.

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

In your occupations, try to possess your soul in peace. It is not a good plan to be in haste to perform any action that it may be sooner over. On the contrary, you should accustom yourself to do whatever you have to do with tranquility, in order that you may retain the possession of yourself and of settled peace.

It is a great truth, wonderful as it is undeniable, that all our happiness - temporal, spiritual, and eternal - consists in one thing; namely, in resigning ourselves to God, and in leaving ourselves with Him, to do with us and in us just as He pleases.

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.

I have never found any who prayed so well as those who had never been taught how. They who have no master in man, have one in the Holy Spirit.

O my God, how true it is that we may have of Thy gifts and yet may be full of ourselves!
