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.

Live in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.

Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation; knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation.

In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.

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

Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.

God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.
