The soul that walks in love neither tires others nor grows tired.

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.

Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.

In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.

However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us; nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there.

The purest suffering bears and carries in its train the purest understanding.

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.
