Nothing is small if God accepts it.

For pity's sake, don't start meeting troubles halfway.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.

To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.

Humility does not disturb or disquiet or agitate, however great it may be; it comes with peace, delight, and calm. . . . The pain of genuine humility doesn't agitate or afflict the soul; rather, this humility expands it and enables it to serve God more.
