When large numbers of people share their joy in common, the happiness of each is greater because each adds fuel to the other’s flame.

Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure where your treasure, there your heart where your heart, there your happiness.

Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider.

You (God) have not only commanded continence, that is, from what things we are to restrain our love, but also justice, that is, on what we are to bestow our love.

You aspire to great things? Begin with little ones. You desire to erect a very high building? Think first of the foundation of humility.

You command continence; give what you command, and command what you will.

You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.
