Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.

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.

Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.

The centre of the soul is God; and, when the soul has attained to Him according to the whole capacity of its being, which is the strength and virtue of the soul, it will have reached the last and the deep centre of the soul, which will be when with all its powers it loves and understands and enjoys God.

The soul that journey's to God, but doesn't shake off it's cares and quiet it's appetities, is like someone who drags a cart of dirt uphill.

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.
