That is how His Majesty [the Lord] rewards our good works---I mean, by predisposing us to perform better ones.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

All things pass... Patience attains all it strives for.

Don't imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.

His Majesty [the Lord] . . . rewards great services with trials, and there can be no better reward, for out of trials springs love for God.

It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found - not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.

I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
