“An active effort to acquire virtue is the first step towards goodness, but an active effort to acquire honor is the first step towards contempt and shame… He who can find pearls will not stop to pick up shells; and so a man who aims at real goodness will not be keen about outward tokens of honor.”

“but if the bond of your mutual liking be charity, devotion and Christian perfection, God knows how very precious a friendship it is! Precious because it comes from God, because it tends to God, because God is the link that binds you, because it will last forever in him. Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in heaven, and to begin that friendship here that is to endure forever there.”

“Consider what God does, and what you are doing—you will see his eyes ever fixed upon you in love incomparable. "O my God," you will cry out, "why cannot I always be looking upon You, even as You look on me? Why do I think so little about You? O my soul, your only resting place is God, and yet how often do you wander?"

— St. Francis De Sales
