You are obliged to love your neighbor as yourself, and loving him, you ought to help him spiritually, with prayer, counseling him with words, and assisting him both spiritually and temporally, according to the need in which he may be, at least with your goodwill if you have nothing else.

One who knows more, loves more.

O unfathomable depth! O Deity eternal! O deep ocean! What more could You give me than to give me Yourself?

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.

A soul cannot live without loving. It must have something to love, for it was created to love.

Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.
