Let thy words be few when in the midst of many.

Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.

In order to profit from this path [of prayer] and ascend to the dwelling places we desire, the important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so, do that which best stirs you to love.

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.

Love draws forth love.

What a miserable life is this! There is no happiness that is secure and nothing that does not change.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.
