Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.

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

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.

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

To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
