– When I read the lives of the Saints as a child, I felt as though a ray of divine light had entered my heart. It filled my heart with sweetness, joy, and jubilation and lit a desire and love for God and heavenly things.
– True happiness is not the honors and pleasures of the body. True happiness is virtue. As many as fight to acquire virtue, to put into practice the commandments of God, these are the truly happy.
-The easiest, quickest, and safest path to Heaven is humility. This is the only safe path.
