It Is Better To Die Than To

A Good Historian Is Timeless; Although He Is A Patriot, He Will Never Flatter His Country In Any Respect.

It Is Only By Fidelity In Little Things That The Grace Of True Love To God Can Be Sustained, And Distinguished From A Passing Fervor Of Spirit. . . . No One Can Well Believe That Our Piety Is Sincere, When Our Behavior Is Lax And Irregular In Its Little Details. What Probability Is There That We Should Not Hesitate To Make The Greatest Sacrifices, When We Shrink From The Smallest?

When We Are Truly In This Interior Simplicity Our Whole Appearance Is Franker, More Natural. This True Simplicity. . . Makes Us Conscious Of A Certain Openness, Gentleness, Innocence, Gaiety, And Serenity. O, How Amiable This Simplicity Is! Who Will Give It To Me? I Leave All For This. It Is The Pearl Of The Gospel.

Our Piety Must Be Weak And Imperfect If It Do Not Conquer Our Fear Of Death.

Can We Be Unsafe Where God Has Placed Us, And Where He Watches Over Us As A Parent A Child That He Loves?
