The following are some quotes I found worth meditating on:
BOOK ONE – THOUGHTS HELPFUL IN THE LIFE OF THE SOUL
- “Vanity of vanities & all is vanity, except to love God & serve Him alone.”
- “To think of one self as nothing & always think well & highly of others is the best & most perfect wisdom.”
- “Our purpose: to conquer self, to become stronger each day, to advance in virtue.”
- “True peace of heart is found in resisting passions, not in satisfying them.”
- “Do not open your heart to every man but discuss your affairs with one who is wise and who fears God.”
- “We often talk vainly & of no purpose, for this external pleasure bars inward & divine consolation.”
- “If we were to uproot only 1 vice per year, we should soon become perfect.”
- “Anyone who aims to live the inner & spiritual life must go apart, with Jesus, from the crowd.”
- “Learn to die to the world now, that you may begin to live with Christ.”
BOOK TWO – THE INTERIOR LIFE
