All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.

Love is a great thing...which alone maketh every burden light.. Love is watchful, and while sleeping, still keeps watch; though fatigued, it is not weary; though pressed, it is not forced. Love is sincere, gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, and manly. Love is humble and upright, not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things; sober chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.

We should have much more peace if we would not busy ourselves with the sayings and doings of others.

Temptations discover what you are.

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

Ah, Lord God, thou holy lover of my soul, when thou comest into my heart, all that is within me shall rejoice.

If you carry your cross joyfully, it will carry you.
