Humility can weep over other men's weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.

Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.

Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of his motion.

Sin is bad in the eye, worse in the tongue, worse still in the heart, but worst of all in the life.

Faith is the champion of Grace, and Love the nurse; but Humility is the beauty of Grace.

Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.

We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.
