How friendly all men would be one with another, if no regard were paid to honour and money! I believe it would be a remedy for everything.

God never changes; Patient endurance Attains to all things; Who God possesses In nothing is wanting; Alone God suffices.

I often thought my constitution would never endure the work I had to do, (but) the Lord said to me: 'Daughter, obedience gives strength.'

The closer one approaches to God, the simpler one becomes.

May God protect me from gloomy saints.

We know only that we are living in these bodies and have a vague idea, because we have heard it, and because our faith tells us so, that we possess souls. As to what good qualities there may be in our souls, or who dwells within them, or how precious they are, those are things which seldom consider and so we trouble little about carefully preserving the soul's beauty.

The custom of speaking to God Almighty as freely as with a slave - caring nothing whether the words are suitable or not, but simply saying the first thing that comes to mind from being learnt by rote by frequent repetition - cannot be called prayer: God grant that no Christian may address Him in this manner.
