If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog; but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

The great paralysis of our heart is unbelief.

We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.

I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under His all-seeing Eye.

By realizing the reality of our Prince within us, we are never bothered again by the fact that we do not understand ourselves, or that other people do not understand us. The only One who truly understands me is the One who made me and who redeems me... It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of every kind of self-consideration and learn to care about only one thing - the relationship between our Prince and ourselves.
