The Devil often places himself upon the tongues of creatures, causing them to chatter nonsensically.

From self-knowledge flows the stream of humility, which never seizes on mere report, nor takes offense at anything, but bears every insult, every loss of consolation, and every sorry, from whatever direction they may come, patiently, with joy.

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.

You, God, made yourself lowly and small to make us great!

You must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.

Do not presume to choose your own way of serving instead of the one I have made for you.

Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!
