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.

For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.

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

Lord, take me from myself and give me to yourself.

all the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.

Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find.
