Live this present life in a way that you will be filled with joy and not overcome with pride.
(p. 35)

Make room for Christ, and deny everything else.
(p. 50)

All our peace in this world comes from the humble endurance of suffering, and not from living a life without it.
(p. 51)

Be grateful, then, for even the least gift and you will be worthy of recieving the greater ones.

Jesus today has many lovers of his kingdom, but few who carry his cross.
(p. 63)
