Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak.

God provides the wind, Man must raise the sail.

One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.

He who has God has everything; he who has everything but God has nothing.

The soul is "torn apart in a painful condition as long as it prefers the eternal because of its Truth but does not discard the temporal because of familiarity.

For what is the self-complacent man but a slave to his own self-praise.

Eternity is the now that does not pass away.
