The measure of love is to love without measuring.

Let us leave a little room for reflection in our lives, room too for silence. Let us look within ourselves and see whether there is some delightful hidden place inside where we can be free of noise and argument. Let us hear the Word of God in stillness and perhaps we will then come to understand it.

Lord, thou madest us for thyself, and we can find no rest till we find rest in thee.

Love and do what you want. If you stop talking, you will stop talking with love; if you shout, you will shout with love; if you correct, you will correct with love.

Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.

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

Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
