Humility must always be doing its work like a bee making honey in the hive: without humility all will be lost.
Teresa of AvilaThe surest way to determine whether one possesses the love of God is to see whether he or she loves his or her neighbor. These two loves are never separated. Rest assured, the more you progress in love of neighbor the more your love of God will increase.
Teresa of AvilaDesire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.
Teresa of AvilaAccustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.
