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

Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.

Discontent with this world gives such a painful longing to quit it that, if the heart finds comfort, it is solely from the thought that God wishes it to remain here in banishment.

Ah, how true it is that we love ourselves too much and proceed with too much human prudence, that we may not lose an atom of our consideration! Oh, what a great mistake that is! The Saints did not act thus.

To want to become angels while we are still on earth ... is ridiculous.

Every part of the journey is of importance to the whole.

Christ moves along the pots and pans.
