We usually know what we can do, but temptation shows us who we are.

We are sometimes stirred by emotion and take it for zeal.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys Him.

If thou hadst simplicity and purity, thou wouldst be able to comprehend all things without error, and behold them without danger. The pure heart safely pervades not only heaven, but hell.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength.... It is therefore able to undertake all things, and it completes many things, and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.

He does much who loves God much, and he does much who does his deed well.

Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will be worthy to receive greater.
