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.

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

Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

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

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

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.
