“What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!”

The life of the spirit is not our life, but the life of God within us.

Never affirm anything unless you are sure it is true.

What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us.

Christ does not force our will, He only takes what we give Him. But He does not give Himself entirely until He sees that we yield ourselves entirely to Him.

Always think of yourself as everyone’s servant; look for Christ Our Lord in everyone and you will then have respect and reverence for them all.

Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.

About the injunction of the Apostle Paul that women should keep silent in church? Don’t go by one text only.

Happy the heart where love has come to birth.

We need no wings to go in search of Him, but have only to look upon Him present within us.

Let there be no disappointment when obedience keeps you busy in outward tasks. If it sends you to the kitchen, remember that the Lord walks among the pots and pans.

Remember that you have only one soul; that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life. . . . If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.

To have courage for whatever comes in life – everything lies in that.

Prayer is a friendly conversation with the One we know loves us.

Oh, my Lord! How true it is that whoever works for you is paid in troubles! And what a precious price to those who love you if we understand its value.

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.

From silly devotions and from sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.

There’s nothing that annoys me more than people being horrible to my mates.

I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.

Christ has made of death a narrow starlit strip between the companionships of yesterday and the reunions of tomorrow.

At least now the stars are in good company.

I had rather have everybody on my side than be armed to the teeth.

There are those who build careers and companies just out of being popular on Instagram, but theres nothing behind them.

Maybe this time isn’t about finding love but rather learning how to enjoy your own company instead.

The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
