If our life is not a course of humility, self-denial,
renunciation of the world, poverty of spirit, and heavenly affection--we do not
live the lives of Christians.

He who has learned to pray--has learned the greatest secret
of a holy and happy life.

We may justly condemn ourselves as the greatest sinners we
know--because we know more of the folly of our own heart than we do of other
people's.

Humility is nothing else but a right judgment of ourselves.

He who complains of the weather--complains of the God who
ordains the weather!

SELF is the root, the tree, and the branches--of all the
evils of our fallen state.

Prayer is the nearest approach to God and the highest
enjoyment of Him, that we are capable of in this life.

Feasts and business and pleasure and enjoyments seem great
things to us, while we think of nothing else; but as soon as we add death to
them--they all sink into an equal littleness.

Saving grace draws us out of the vanity of time--into the
riches of eternity!
