Do not be afraid to throw yourself on the Lord! He will not draw back and let you fall! Put your worries aside and throw yourself on him; He will welcome you and heal you.
Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.
When God is our strength, it is strength indeed; when our strength is our own, it is only weakness.
The will is truly free, when it is not the slave of vices and sins.
The human race is inquisitive about other people’s lives, but negligent to correct their own.
Love has reasons that reason knows not.
It will not be held against you that you are ignorant against your will, but that you neglect to seek out what it is that makes you ignorant; not that you cannot bring together your wounded limbs, but that you reject Him that would heal them.
If faith fails, prayer perishes.
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self; the heavenly by the love of God.
If you are suffering from a bad man’s injustice, forgive him lest there be two bad men.
One never errs more safely than when one errs by too much loving the truth.
It is salutary for us to learn to hold cheap such things, be they good or evil, as attach indifferently to good men and bad, and to covet those good things which belong only to good men, and flee those evils which belong only to evil men.
Eternity is the now that does not pass away.
God is not greater if you reverence Him, but you are greater if you serve Him.
Every good and true Christian should understand that wherever he may find the truth it is his Lord’s.
If a parricide is more wicked than anyone who commits homicide-because he kills not merely a man but a near relative-without doubt worse still is he who kills himself, because there is none nearer to a man than himself.
God is more anxious to bestow his blessings on us than we are to receive them.
We count on God’s mercy for our past mistakes, on God’s love for our present needs, on God’s sovereignty for our future.
Love and do what you want. If you stop talking, you will stop talking with love; if you shout, you will shout with love; if you correct, you will correct with love.
Don’t go outside; get back to yourself, in the inner man lies the Truth.
