“The Spirit of Love, wherever it is, is its own blessing and happiness, because it is the truth and reality of God in the soul; and therefore is in the same joy of life, and is the same good to itself everywhere and on every occasion. Would you know the blessing of all blessings? It is this God of Love dwelling in your soul, and killing every root of bitterness, which is the pain and torment of every earthly, selfish love. For all wants are satisfied, all disorders of nature are removed, no life is any longer a burden, every day is a day of peace, everything you meet becomes a help to you, because everything you see or do is all done in the sweet, gentle element of Love.”

“Faith is not a notion, but a real strong essential hunger, an attracting or magnetic desire of Christ, which as it proceeds from a seed of the divine nature in us, so it attracts and unites with its like.”

“Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will, or rather our own will is our separation from God.”

“Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.”

“Be intent upon the perfection of the present day.”

“There is nothing that makes us love a man so much as praying for him.”

“He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and a happy life.”

“Be intent upon the perfection of the present day.”

“Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will or rather our own will is our separation from God.”

“The greatest saint in the world is not he who prays most or fasts most it is not he who gives alms or is most eminent for temperance chastity or justice. It is he who is most thankful to God.”

“What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains and studying night and day how to fly?”
