I have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of God; and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of His great magnificence and mercy. May He be blessed for ever! For I see clearly that He has not omitted to reward me, even in this life, for every one of my good desires.

It is not a matter of thinking a great deal but of loving a great deal, so do whatever arouses you most to love.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

The 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.

What friends or kindred can be so close and intimate as the powers of our soul, which, whether we will or no, must ever bear us company?

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

Those who in fact risk all for God will find that they have both lost all and gained all.
