Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy, but we may make it holy.
The very best and noblest attainment in this life is to be silent and let God work and speak within. Therefore it is said: 'In the midst of silence the secret word was spoken to me.'
God does not work in all hearts alike, but according to the preparation and sensitivity He finds in each.
Let God operate in thee; Hand the work over to Him and do not disquiet thyself as to whether or no He is working with nature or above nature, for His are both nature and grace.
Let God work in you, give the work to God, and have peace. Don't worry if He works through your nature or above your nature, because both are His, nature and grace.
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation; it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However sacred...
The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.
Your own efforts "did not bring it to pass," only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.
