The more we have the less we own.

A free mind is one which is untroubled and unfettered by anything, which has not bound its best part to any particular manner of being or worship and which does not seek its own interest in anything but is always immersed in God's most precious will. . . . There is no work which men and women can perform, however small, which does not draw from this its power and strength.

There exists only the present instant ... There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now.

God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.

There is no stopping place in this life--nor is there ever one for any person, no matter how far along the way one's gone.

The soul loves the body. And consider too how it is that the body is more in the soul than the soul is in the body.

Treat all things as if they were loaned to you without any ownership - whether body or soul, sense or strength, external goods or honors, house or hall . . . everything.
