“I have desired to do good, but I have not desired to make noise. I have found that doing good makes no noise, and making noise does no good.”
Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin

“What I have said of the first degree of this regimen may be said of every other act of our temporal life: we ought never to apply ourselves to anything, without having first awakened within us the divine hunger; because as this divine hunger has to procure for us the true substance of life, we ought to have no aim, no attraction, no thought, but never to allow this fountain of the divine wonders to pass from us, but, on the contrary, employ ourselves incessantly in reviving it, that it may have the sweet delight of satiating itself with the Substance of Life.”
Louis Claude de Saint-Martin
