The Lord has many lovers of His crown but few lovers of His Cross.

Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you.

If you can talk and it's convenient to talk, try to say things that edify.

The highest in God's esteem are the lowest in their own.

My God, Sweetness beyond words, make bitter all the carnal comfort that draws me from love of the eternal and lures me to its evil self by the sight of some delightful good in the present. Let it not overcome me, my God. Let not flesh and blood conquer me. Let not the world and its brief glory deceive me, nor the devil trip me by his craftiness. Give me courage to resist, patience to endure, and constancy to persevere. Give me the soothing unction of Your spirit rather than all the consolations of the world, and in place of carnal love, infuse into me the love of Your name.

All is vanity but to love God and serve Him.

Remember always your end, and that lost time does not return.
