Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

Discontent with this world gives such a painful longing to quit it that, if the heart finds comfort, it is solely from the thought that God wishes it to remain here in banishment.

It is a most certain truth, that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility.

The tree that is beside the running water is fresher and gives more fruit.

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
