Jesus has now many lovers of the heavenly kingdom but few bearers of His cross.

Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of its trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse for impossibility, for it thinks all things are lawful for itself and all things are possible

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.

Great tranquility of heart is his who cares for neither praise nor blame.

He who loves with purity considers not the gift of the lover, but the love of the giver.

Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.
