We cannot be sure if we are loving God, although we may have good reasons for believing that we are, but we can know quite well if we are loving our neighbor. And be certain that, the farther advanced you find you are in this, the greater the love you will have for God.

You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything - God alone suffices.

May I not come before You with empty hands, since we are rewarded according to our deeds.

Everything seems to me to pass so quickly that we must concentrate on how to die rather than on how to live. How sweet it is to die if one has lived on the Cross with Christ.

I am quite sure I am more afraid of people who are themselves terrified of the devil than I am of the devil himself.

Oh, how everything that is suffered with love is healed again!
