There Is A Set Of Religious, Or

God Would Behold In You A Simplicity Which Will Contain So Much The More Of His Wisdom As It Contains Less Of Your Own.

The Kingdom Of God Which Is Within Us Consists In Our Willing Whatever God Wills, Always, In Every Thing, And Without Reservation; And Thus His Kingdom Comes; For His Will Is Then Done As It Is In Heaven, Since We Will Nothing But What Is Dictated By His Sovereign Pleasure.

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.

When You Come To Be Sensibly Touched, The Scales Will Fall From Your Eyes; And By The Penetrating Eyes Of Love You Will Discern That Which Your Other Eyes Will Never See.

If The Crowns Of All The Kingdoms Of The Empire Were Laid Down At My Feet In Exchange For My Books And My Love Of Reading I Would Spurn Them All.
