With all this wide and beautiful creation before me, the restless soul longs to enjoy its liberty and rest beyond its bound.

A soul which gives itself to prayer, either much or little, should on no account be kept within narrow bounds.

Desire 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.

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.

But the fact is, things always seem to come slowly when you are longing for them.

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

People in the world pay little heed to reason where their own interests are involved.
