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

Do not think you have gained a virtue unless you have first been tried by its opposite.

The most potent and acceptable prayer is the prayer that leaves the best effects. I don't mean it must immediately fill the soul with desire . . . The best effects are those that are followed up by actions-when the soul not only desires the honor of God, but really strives for it.

Never do anything which you could not do in the sight of all.

We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.

Humility, however deep it be, neither disquiets nor troubles nor disturbs the soul; it is accompanied by peace, joy and tranquillity.

Patient endurance / Attaineth to all things.
