The human race is inquisitive about other people's lives, but negligent to correct their own.

Give what You command and command what You will.

Truth is not private property.

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

The entire life of a good Christian is in fact an exercise of holy desire. You do not yet see what you long for, but the very act of desiring prepares you, so that when he comes you may see and be utterly satisfied.

Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and moon and stars.

Make me a captive Lord, then I shall be truly free.
