The very prince of the universe is man, the crowning point of man is his heart, of the heart is love, and the perfection of love is charity. That is why the love of God is the goal, the crowning point, the be-all and end-all of the universe.

(Treatise on the Love of God, Book 10, Chapter 1)

Charity is a love of friendship, a friendship of affection, an affection of preference, but a preference that is unrivalled, supreme, supernatural…

(Treatise on the Love of God, Book 2, Chapter 22)

Let everything be in confusion, not only around us but even within us, yet always the highest point of our heart must look unceasingly toward the love of God.

( Introduction to the Devout Life, Part IV, Chapter 13)

Not only is God in the place where you are, but He is in a very special manner in the depth of your spirit.

( Introduction to the Devout Life, Part II, Chapter 2)

God works from afar and from close by, and calls the distant to the service of those who serve Him without bringing them near.

(Letters to Persons in Religion, IV, 15)

A person should never omit his spiritual exercises and the common rules of virtue unless he sees the will of God on the other side.

(Letters to Persons in the World, III, 11)

One little fault for which we keep an affection is more contrary to perfection than a hundred others committed inadvertently and without affection.

(Spiritual Conferences, 8)
