We are often moved with passion and think it to be zeal.

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better in heaven and earth; because love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.

I have often heard, that it is safer to hear and to take counsel, than to give it.

Study, therefore, to withdraw the love of your soul from all things that are visible, and turn it to things that are invisible.

Two wings lift a person up from earthly concerns: Simplicity in intention, and Purity in feeling.

If thou wilt receive profit, read with humility, simplicity and faith, and seek not at any time the fame of being learned.

Thy peace shall be in much patience.
