God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue.
William LawDivine 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.
William LawWhat can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
William LawYou have no questions to ask of any body, no new way that you need inquire after; no oracle that you need to consult; for whilst you shut yourself up in patience, meekness, humility, and resignation to God, you are in the very arms of Christ, your heart is His dwelling-place, and He lives and works in you.
William Law
