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

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

My soul was not only brought into harmony with itself and with God, but with God's providence. In the exercise of faith and love, I endured and performed whatever came in God's providence, in submission, in thankfulness, and silence.

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.

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

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.
