The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.

Our whole business in this Life is to restore to health the eye of the heart whereby God may be seen.

God's faithful servant has no desire for people to say or to give to him, or what he likes to hear or see, for his first and greatest aim is to hear what is most pleasing to God.

Angels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become angels when they are sent. For the name angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit; you ask its office, it is that of an Angel, which is a messenger.

He who does little, but in a state to which God calls him, does more than he who labors much, but in a state which he has thoughtlessly chosen: a cripple limping in the right way is better than a racer out of it.

Blessedness consists in the accomplishment of our desires, and in our having only regular desires.

Two criminals were crucified with Christ. One was saved; do not despair. One was not; do not presume.
