We've been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us.

Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.

avarice breeds envy, a worm that is always gnawing, letting the avaricious enjoy neither their own nor anyone else's good.

Heaven is along the way.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

In your nature, eternal Godhead, I shall come to know my nature. And what is my nature? It is fire, because you are nothing but a fire of love. And you have given humankind a share in this nature, for by the fire of love you created us.

To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.
