Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.

Whether we think of, or speak to, God, whether we act or suffer for him, all is prayer, when we have no other object than his love, and the desire of pleasing him.

For as long as love takes up the whole heart, what room is there for sin therein?
