You are trying to become the servant of those poor young women and God wants you to be His own (I:111).

You are, as it were, on a stage upon which one act of bitterness is capable of spoiling everything (I:110).

Let there appear no sign of division between you (I:110).

Do you think you will become more capable of drawing near to God by withdrawing from Him than you will by approaching Him? (I:108).

The spirit of God urges one gently to do the good that can be done reasonably, so that it may be done perseveringly and for a long time (I:92).

God is love and wants us to go to Him through love (I:81).

Our Lord wants us to serve Him with common sense and the opposite is called indiscreet zeal (I:79).

One beautiful diamond is worth more than a mountain of stones, and one virtuous act of acquiescence and submission is better than an abundance of good works done for others (I:75).

Our Lord will perhaps draw more glory from your submission than from all the good you could do (I:75).

It is very difficult to do any good without conflict (I:75).
