Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.

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

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

The strongest and purest love is not the one that starts from impressions, but the one that comes from admiration.

Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.

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

It is only through shadows that one comes to know the light.
