It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.

We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.

Be who you are and be that well.

Those who love to be feared fear to be loved.

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.

Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
