Quote

People who get comfortable in their spirit miss what they were created for. They were created to magnify the glory of the world.

There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.

People who can't be witty exert themselves to be devout and affectionate.

People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.

I will not call that person happy who knows no rest because of his enemies, who is the butt of fun by all and for whom no one has any empathy, who is as if held on a leash by others, who has lost himself in hedonistic pursuits, who preys on those weaker to him and wags his tail for his superiors.

People who don't know the true character of God - who don't believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger - can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.

A soul which gives itself to prayer, either much or little, should on no account be kept within narrow bounds.
