“When we, by the working of mercy and grace, be made meek and mild, we are fully safe; suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath.”

God loved us before he made us; and his love has never diminished and never shall.

But for I am a woman should I therefore live that I should not tell you the goodness of God?

God, of thy goodness, give me Thyself; for Thou art enough for me, and I can ask for nothing less that can be full honor to Thee. And if I ask anything that is less, ever Shall I be in want, for only in Thee have I all.

Between God and the soul there is no between.

That which is impossible to thee is not impossible to me: I shall save my word in all things and I shall make all things well.

Our life is all grounded and rooted in love, and without love we may not live.

Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.

Pray inwardly, even if you do not enjoy it. It does good, though you feel nothing. Yes, even though you think you are doing nothing.

Here saw I a great oneing betwixt Christ and us, to mine understanding: for when He was in pain, we were in pain.

If any such lover be in earth which is continually kept from falling, I know it not: for it was not shewed me. But this was shewed: that in falling and in rising we are ever preciously kept in one Love.

But for failing love on our part, therefore is all our travail.

We are in God and God whom we do not see is in us.

The age of every man shall be acknowledged before him in Heaven, and every man shall be rewarded for his willing service and for his time.

Love was without beginning, is, and shall be without ending.

Growing up in a particular neighborhood, growing up in a working-class family, not having much money, all of those things fire you and can give you an edge, can give you an anger.

Anger tears me up inside, My own, or anyone else’s.

I spent 43 years of my life in anger and I know what it can do… Now I pray a lot. I do whatever I need to do to keep me out of that anger, out of that place where I can’t grow and be better.

Choosing nonviolence does not mean that one will never get angry or become upset with others, including the ones we love.

I don’t know if you realize this, but anger is anger. It has no mind. It has no rationality. It’s mad, and it just wants to destroy.

A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.

The younger generation is supposed to rage against the machine, not for it. They’re supposed to question authority, not question those who question authority.

Emotions, particularly anger, are like fire. They can cook your food and keep you warm, or they can burn your house down.
