Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

The soul of one who serves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, is always in her palace of jubilation, ever singing with fresh ardor and fresh pleasure a new song of joy and love.

Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.

Take God for your spouse and friend and walk with him continually, and you will not sin and will learn to love, and the things you must do will work out prosperously for you.

Live as though only God and yourself were in this world, so that your heart may not be detained by anything human.

God leads every soul by a separate path.
