Nothing Is More Despicable Than A Professional Talker Who Uses His Words As A Quack Uses His Remedies

The Past But Lives In Written Words: A Thousand Ages Were Blank If Books Had Not Evoked Their Ghosts, And Kept The Pale Unbodied Shades To Warn Us From Fleshless Lips.

Resign Every Forbidden Joy; Restrain Every Wish That Is Not Referred To God's Will; Banish All Eager Desires, All Anxiety; Desire Only The Will Of God; Seek Him Alone And Supremely, And You Will Find Peace.

Avoid All Refined Speculations; Confine Yourself To Simple Reflections, And Recur To Them Frequently. Those Who Pass Too Rapidly From One Truth To Another Feed Their Curiosity And Restlessness; They Even Distract Their Intellect With Too Great A Multiplicity Of Views. Give Every Truth Time To Send Down Deep Root Into The Heart.

Faith Is Letting Down Our Nets Into The Transparent Deeps At The Divine Command, Not Knowing What We Shall Draw.
