As soon as we are stripped of the sordid garb of avarice, we shall be clothed with the royal and imperial vest of the opposite virtue, liberality.

My Jesus, if you uphold me, I shall not fall.

The stench of impurity before God and the angels is so great, that no stench in the world can equal it.

To preserve our cheerfulness amid sicknesses and troubles, is a sign of a right and good spirit.

The Lord grants in a moment what we may have been unable to obtain in dozens of years.

He who feels that the vice of avarice has got hold of him, should not wish to observe fasts of supererogation, but to give alms.

First let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.
