Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.

The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss.

The more spiritual a man desires to be, the more bitter does his present life become to him; because he sees more clearly and perceives more sensibly the defects of human corruption.

He that seeks here any other thing but simply God and the salvation of his soul, will find nothing but trouble and sorrow.

Though weary, it is not tired: though pressed it is not straightened; though alarmed, it is not confounded; but as a living flame it forces itself upwards and securely passes through all.

The better you understand yourself the less cause you will find to love yourself.

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