Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

All the troubles of the Church, all the evils in the world, flow from this source: that men do not by clear and sound knowledge and serious consideration penetrate into the truths of Sacred Scripture.

If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.

Humility, however deep it be, neither disquiets nor troubles nor disturbs the soul; it is accompanied by peace, joy and tranquillity.

The same know contentment, for beauty is their lover, and beauty is never absent from this world.
