Humility consists in not esteeming ourselves above other men, and in not seeking to be esteemed above them.

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.

Be who you are and do that well.

The spirit cannot endure the body when overfed, but, if underfed, the body cannot endure the spirit.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.

We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.
