Some Sayings

Be still; and behold the superorganic unfolding of the soul's potentialities in God.

How humble is the Lord, our God! His ways are not our ways. He does not clamor to be heard, but whispers to us in "a still small voice" out of the depths of our souls, and every man must put off his own will and listen intently if he is to hear the humble promptings of the Lord.

The Lord, in His goodness, teaches us gratitude for what we have and humility for what we have not.

In the world they are ashamed to speak of Christ, and in Christ they are ashamed to speak of the world.

The heart is a bridle for the intellect, that reason may serve the will in all simplicity.

Love forges a simple path through the forest of the mind.

Strait is the spirit of love in pursuit of the heart of God.

Clear as water is the spirit which cleanses of all superfluities.

The heart desires to be heard and not to conceal itself in a forest of clever words.

Simplicity charms the heart.

Gifts, like children, do not come out of us, but through us.

What I have loved in mortal natures is only the grace which proceeded from God.

In the time it takes to know a man he may become a different man.
