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.
John of the CrossLive in the world as if only God and your soul were in it; then your heart will never be made captive by any earthly thing.
John of the CrossThe 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.
