There Is No More Dangerous Illusion Than

To Be Faithful In Prayer It Is Indispensable That We Arrange All The Activities Of The Day With A Regularity That Nothing Can Disturb

It Is This Unquiet Self-love That Renders Us So Sensitive. The Sick Man, Who Sleeps Ill, Thinks The Night Long. We Exaggerate, From Cowardice, All The Evils Which We Encounter; They Are Great, But Our Sensibility Increases Them. The True Way To Bear Them Is To Yield Ourselves Up With Confidence To God.

Had We Not Faults Of Our Own, We Should Take Less Pleasure In Complaining Of Others.

There Are Two Principal Points Of Attention Necessary For The Preservation Of This Constant Spirit Of Prayer Which Unites Us With God; We Must Continually Seek To Cherish It, And We Must Avoid Everything That Tends To Make Us Lose It.

Time Is Given Us That We May Take Care For Eternity; And Eternity Will Not Be Too Long To Regret The Loss Of Our Time If We Have Misspent It.
