A man is hindered and distracted in proportion as he draws outward things to himself.

For things that worth little or nothing we care a lot; and we oversight what is necessary; because every man goes towards the exterior; and if he doesn't regain consciousness quickly, with pleasure remain involved in it.

Whoever finds Jesus, finds a rich treasure, and a good above every good. He who loses Jesus loses much indeed, and more than the whole world. Poorest of all is he who lives without Jesus, and richest of all is he who stands in favor with Jesus.

Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.

Anyone who thinks hard work will never hurt you has never had to pay to have it done. Jesus now has many lovers of his Heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of his cross.

Learn to humble yourself, you are but earth and clay.

It is better to be affected with a true penitent sorrow for sin than to be able to resolve the most difficult cases about it.
