He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.
From William Law
Love has no errors, for all errors are the want for love.
If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.
Be intent upon the perfection of the present day.
This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.
Self is the root, the tree, and the branches of all the evils of our fallen state.
Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.
Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God.
What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
Perfection does not consist in any singular state or condition of life, or in any particular set of duties, but in holy and religious conduct of ourselves in every state of Life.
