Divine love is perfect peace and joy, it is a freedom from all disquiet, it is all content and happiness; and makes everything to rejoice in itself.

Until we are renewed in the spirit of our mind and illumined in every part, our very virtues are but taught practices grafted upon a corrupt bottom

Where has the Scripture made merit the rule or measure of charity?.

God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue.

Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life.

Let every creature have your love. Love, with its fruits of meekness, patience, and humility, is all that we can wish for ourselves and our fellow creatures. For this is to live in God, united with him, both for time and eternity. To desire to communicate good to everyone, in the degree that we can and to which each person is capable of receiving from us, is a divine temper, for thus God stands unchangeably disposed towards the whole creation.

The more we pay for any truth, the better is our bargain.
