"A good man finds every place he treads upon holy ground; to him the world is God’s temple."

"Indeed, the chief natural way whereby we can climb up to the understanding of the Deity is by a contemplation of our own souls."

"Goodness and virtue make men know and love, believe and delight in their immortality. When the soul is purged and enlightened by true sanctity, it is more capable of those divine irradiations, whereby it feels itself in conjunction with God. It knows that almighty Love, by which it lives, is stronger than death."
