Little Opportunities Should Be Improved.

True Prayer Is Only Another Name For The Love Of God. Its Excellence Does Not Consist In The Multitude Of Our Words; For Our Father Knoweth What Things We Have Need Of Before We Ask Him. The True Prayer Is That Of The Heart, And The Heart Prays Only For What It Desires. To Pray, Then Is To Desire -- But To Desire What God Would Have Us Desire. He Who Asks What He Does Not From The Bottom Of His Heart Desire, Is Mistaken In Thinking That He Prays.

Before Putting Yourself In Peril, It Is Necessary To Foresee And Fear It; But When One Is There, Nothing Remains But To Despise It.

True Piety Hath In It Nothing Weak, Nothing Sad, Nothing Constrained. It Enlarges The Heart; It Is Simple, Free, And Attractive.

Listen Less To Your Own Thoughts And More To God's Thoughts.

Avoid All Refined Speculations; Confine Yourself To Simple Reflections, And Recur To Them Frequently. Those Who Pass Too Rapidly From One Truth To Another Feed Their Curiosity And Restlessness; They Even Distract Their Intellect With Too Great A Multiplicity Of Views. Give Every Truth Time To Send Down Deep Root Into The Heart.
