There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love - every man works his oar voluntarily!

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

Every vocation becomes more agreeable when united with devotion.

Those who love to be feared fear to be loved, and they themselves are more afraid than anyone, for whereas other men fear only them, they fear everyone.

In so far as divine love beautifies our souls. And makes us pleasing to His divine Majesty, it is called grace; in so far as it gives us strength to do good, it is called charity; but when it reaches such a degree of perfection, that it makes us not only do the good, but do so carefully, frequently and readily, then it is called devotion.

It matters little how one begins, provided that he be resolved to go on well, and to end well.

Since God often sends us inspirations by means of His angels, we should frequently return our aspirations to him by means of the same messengers.
