Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.

While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.

By turning your eyes on God in meditation, your whole soul will be filled with God. Begin all your prayers in the presence of God.

The thoughts of those moved by natural human love are almost completely fastened on the beloved, their hearts are filled with passion for it, and their mouths full of its praises.

Be who you are and be that well.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
