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

Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle.

Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.

Of two evils, the lesser must always be chosen De duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum

Love is active and sincere, courageous, patient, faithful, prudent and manly.

So fixed are our spirits in slothfulness and cold indifference that we seldom overcome so much as one evil habit.

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