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

Love alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.

If your heart were sincere and upright, every creature would be unto you a looking-glass of life and a book of holy doctrine.

Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.

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.

Many deceive themselves, imagining they'll find happiness in change.
