Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.

I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.

This world's a bubble.

Only He who made man makes man happy.

If bodies please thee, praise God on occasion of them, and turn back thy love upon their Maker; lest in these things which please thee, thou displease. If souls please thee, be they loved in God: for they too are mutable, but in Him they are firmly established.

Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.

Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.
