For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.

He does much who loves much.

Love Him, and keep Him for thy Friend, who, when all go away, will not forsake thee, nor suffer thee to perish at the last.

Two wings lift a person up from earthly concerns: Simplicity in intention, and Purity in feeling.
