Love is the beauty of the soul.

It is not earthly riches which make us or our sons happy; for they must either be lost by us in our lifetime, or be possessed when we are dead, by whom we know not, or perhaps by whom we would not.

Whoever possesses God is happy.

God is more truly imagined than expressed, and He exists more truly than He is imagined.

How high a price we pay for the burden of habit! I am fitted for life here where I do not want to be, I want to live there but am unfit for it, and on both counts I am miserable.

The love of our neighbor hath its bounds in each man's love of himself.

Virginity is not honored simply because it is virginity, but because it is consecrated of God.
