No one can be a slave of two masters. You cannot serve both God and money.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
