Naturally we all have an inclination to command, and a great aversion to obey; and yet it is certain that it is more for our good to obey than to command; hence perfect souls have always had a great affection for obedience, and have found all their joy and comfort in it.

God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.

Though perseverance does not come from our power, yet it comes within our power.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.

Let us be what God likes, so long as we are His, and let us not be what we want to be, if it is against his intention.

In everything, love simplicity.
