To Pray Is To Desire; But It

A Cross Borne In Simplicity, Without The Interference Of Self-love To Augment It, Is Only Half A Cross. Suffering In This Simplicity Of Love, We Are Not Only Happy In Spile Of The Cross, But Because Of It; For Love Is Pleased In Suffering For The Well Beloved, And The Cross Which Forms Us Into His Image Is A Consoling Bond Of Love.

There Is But One Way In Which God Should Be Loved, And That Is To Take No Step Except With Him And For Him, And To Follow With A Generous Self-abandonment Every Thing Which He Requires.

Discouragement Is Simply The Despair Of Wounded Self-love.

It Is Better To Die Than To Tell A Lie

I Am Not In The Least Surprised That Your Impression Of Death Becomes More Lively, In Proportion As Age And Infirmity Bring It Nearer. God Makes Use Of This Rough Trial To Undeceive Us In Respect To Our Courage, To Make Us Feel Our Weakness, And To Keep Us In All Humility In His Hands.
