Carefully avoid in yourself those things which distrub you in others.

By two wings a man is lifted up from things earthly: by simplicity and purity.

We are often moved with passion and think it to be zeal.

He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.

Love longs to be free, a stranger to every worldly desire, lest its inner vision become dimmed, and lest worldly self-interest hinder it or ill-fortune cast it down.

No man is safe above but he that will gladly be beneath.

A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.
