Love God, and do as you like, say the Free Spirits. Yes; but as long as you like anything contrary to God's will, you do not love Him.
He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
Every creature is a word of God.
God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.
If we seek God for our own good and profit, we are not seeking God.
Remember this: all suffering comes to an end. And whatever you suffer authentically, God has suffered from it first.
