It is wonderful how attractive a gentle, pleasant manner is, and how much it wins hearts.

In everything, love simplicity.

One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.

If you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor, and yields to softness.

To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.

Obedience is a consecration of the heart, chastity of the body, and poverty of all worldly goods to the Love and Service of God. Blessed indeed are the obedient, for God will never permit them to go astray.

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.
