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.

If you would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from heaven. For he who give the us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.

A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning.

The reflections on a day well spent furnish us with joys more pleasing than ten thousand triumphs.

If you bear the cross gladly, it will bear you.

Wherever you go, you will always bear yourself about with you, and so you will always find yourself.

Love flies, runs, and rejoices; it is free and nothing can hold it back.
