God requires a faithful fulfillment of the merest trifle given us to do, rather than the most ardent aspiration to things to which we are not called.

Faith fills a man with love for the beauty of its truth, with faith in the truth of its beauty

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

Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.

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

Never be hurried in anything. Do all things calmly and in a spirit of repose. Do not lose your inward peace even if everything seems to be going wrong. What is anything in life compared to peace of soul?

Go in all simplicity; do not be anxious to win a quiet mind, and it will be all the quieter. Do not examine so closely into the progress of your soul. Do not crave too much to be perfect, but let your spiritual life beformed by your duties, and by the actions which are called forth by circumstances.
