He who desires anything but God deceives himself, and he who loves anything but God errs miserably.
Philip NeriHe who wishes for anything but Christ, does not know what he wishes; he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking; he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing.
Philip NeriWe must often remember what Christ said, that not he who begins, but he that perseveres to the end, shall be saved.
Philip Neri
