“Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.”

Prostrate, see Thy cross I grasp,And Thy pierced feet I clasp;Gracious Jesus, spurn me not;On me, with compassion fraught.

I have no other masters than the beeches and the oaks.

It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment.

It is a fault, not a virtue, to wish your humility recognized and applauded.

Believe one who has tried, you shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in the books. The trees and the rocks will teach you that which you cannot hear from the masters.

Vines and trees will teach you that which you will never learn from masters.

Love me, love my dog.

For I have learnt for a fact that nothing so effectively obtains, retains and regains grace, as that we should always be found not high-minded before God, but filled with holy fear.

Therefore gird yourselves manfully and take up joyful arms for the name of God.

If anyone makes himself his own master in the spiritual life, he makes himself scholar to a fool.

He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.

Prayer is a virtue that prevaileth against all temptations.
