Quote

We men are easily prone to sins of thought. Therefore, He who has formed each heart individually, knowing that the impulse received from the intention constitutes the major element in sin, has ordained that purity in the ruling part of our soul be our primary concern.

Heart is what drives us and determines our fate.

There is something in humility which strangely exalts the heart.

Purity is not imposed upon us as though it were a kind of punishment, it is one of those mysterious but obvious conditions of that supernatural knowledge of ourselves in the Divine, which we speak of as faith. Impurity does not destroy this knowledge, it slays our need for it.

Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.

Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.

Love is the funeral of hearts.

Things are never simple when it comes to the human heart.

If what the heart approves conforms to proper patterns, then even if one's desires are many, what harm would they be to good order?
