Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.

The great thing is to become Saints.

Give me ten truly detached men. and I will convert the world with them.

Let us think, if we only got to heaven, what a sweet and easy thing it will be there to be always saying with the angels and the saints, Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus.

There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.

Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if he wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength.

He who wishes for goods will never have devotion.
