(Fourth Conversation)"Let it be your business to keep your mind in the presence of the LORD." (Eighth Letter)"Perfect resignation to GOD was a sure way to heaven, a way in which we had always sufficient light for our conduct." (Third Conversation)"In order to know GOD, we must often think of Him; and when we come to love Him, we shall then also think of Him often, for our heart will be with our treasure." (Ninth Letter)"We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of GOD" (Fourth Conversation)"We must make our heart a spiritual temple, wherein to adore Him incessantly" (Fourteenth Letter)"Let all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him." (Fifteenth Letter)"But when we are faithful to keep ourselves in His holy Presence, and set Him always before us, this not only hinders our offending Him, and doing anything that may displease Him, at least wilfully, but it also begets in us holy freedom, and if I may so speak, a familiarity with GOD, wherewith we ask, and that successfully, the graces we stand in need of."
