The more humble and obedient to God a man is, the more wise and at peace he will be in all that he does.

He that loveth, flieth, runneth, and rejoiceth. He is free, and cannot be held in. He giveth all for all, and hath all in all, because he resteth in one highest above all things, from whom all that is good flows and proceeds.

Scruples, temptations, and fears, and cutting perplexities of the heart, are often the lot of the most excellent persons.

Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.

Do not let your peace depend on what people say of you... True peace and joy is to be found in [Jesus] alone.

A man of peace does more good than a very learned man.

And if thy heart be straight with God then every creature shall be to thee a mirror of life and a book of holy doctrine for there is no creature so little or so despised but that sheweth and representeth the goodness of God.
