The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light

There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.

Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.

Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.

If it were given to a man to see virtue's reward in the next world, he would occupy his intellect, memory and will in nothing but good works, careless of danger or fatigue.

The virtuous soul that is alone and without a master is like a long lone burning coal; it will grow colder rather than hotter.

Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
