“We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.”

I thought of the soul as resembling a castle, formed of a single diamond or a very transparent crystal, and containing many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions.

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

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

How often I failed in my duty to God, because I was not leaning on the strong pillar of prayer.

All blessings come to us through our Lord. He will teach us, for in beholding His life we find that He is the best example.

Don’t be curious of matters that don’t concern you; never speak of them, and don’t ask about them.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

We may speak of love and humility as the true flowers of spiritual growth; and they give off a wonderful scent, which benefits all those who come near.

If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.

Be kind to all and severe to thyself.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

Life is a night spent in an uncomfortable inn.

Christ has no body now but mine. He prays in me, works in me, looks through my eyes, speaks through my words, works through my hands, walks with my feet and loves with my heart.

There seem to me a great many blessings which come from true poverty and I should be sorry to be deprived of them.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don’t remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don’t understand the great secrets hidden inside of us.

Maybe you’ve been through hell. But can you see how brave you were to get this far?

We both already know nothing lasts forever but let’s just see how far we get.

Are we still in the same world? Then why do I feel so far away from you? As if our two worlds were separated.

The lava that erupts from the volcanoes has been reoccurring for far too long and even tho I’ve been warned that my lava can burn others I can’t help but erupt at the possibility that someone will want to burn for me.

As far as possible, let’s meet beyond the stars.

By far the best proof is experience.

Tyranny and anarchy are never far apart.

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
