The Best Use One Can Make Of

Nothing Marks So Much The Solid Advancement Of A Soul, As The View Of One's Wretchedness Without Anxiety And Without Discouragement.

How Dangerous It Is For Our Salvation, How Unworthy Of God And Of Ourselves, How Pernicious Even For The Peace Of Our Hearts, To Want Always To Stay Where We Are! Our Whole Life Was Only Given Us To Advance Us By Great Strides Toward Our Heavenly Country.

All Wars Are Civil Wars Because All Men Are Brothers... Each One Owes Infinitely More To The Human Race Than To The Particular Country In Which He Was Born.

True Prayer Is Only Another Name For The Love Of God. Its Excellence Does Not Consist In The Multitude Of Our Words; For Our Father Knoweth What Things We Have Need Of Before We Ask Him. The True Prayer Is That Of The Heart, And The Heart Prays Only For What It Desires. To Pray, Then Is To Desire -- But To Desire What God Would Have Us Desire. He Who Asks What He Does Not From The Bottom Of His Heart Desire, Is Mistaken In Thinking That He Prays.

To Will Everything That God Wills, And To Will It Always, In All Circumstances And Without Reservations: That Is The Kingdom Of God Which Is Entirely Within.
