He who suffers in patience, surfers less and saves his soul. He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul.

It is just that he should act with reserve towards those who act with reserve towards him. On the contrary, he gives himself entirely to those souls, who, driving from their hearts everything that is not God, and does not lead them to his love, and giving themselves to him without reserve, truly say to him: My God and my all.
Alphonsus Liguori
Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends.
Alphonsus Liguori

Alphonsus Liguori
A dancer differeth from a madman only in length of time one is mad so long as he liveth, the other while he danceth.
Alphonsus Liguori
Assuredly, Loving Souls, you should go to God with all humility and respect, humbling yourselves in His presence, especially when you remember your past ingratitude and sins.
Alphonsus Liguori
In cold and heat, in rain and wind, the soul united to God says, I want it to be warm, to be cold, windy, to rain, because God wills it.
Alphonsus Liguori
St. Francis Borgia says that he who desires to consecrate himself to God must, in the first place, trample under his feet all regard for what others will say of him. O my God, why do we not ask what Jesus Christ or his holy mother will think of our conduct?
Alphonsus Liguori
All souls in hell are there because they did not pray. All the saints sanctified themselves by prayer.
Alphonsus Liguori
A soul who loves Jesus Christ desires to be treated the way Christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised, and humiliated.
Alphonsus Liguori
We must show charity towards the sick, who are in greater need of help. Let us take them some small gift if they are poor, or, at least let us go and wait on them and comfort them.
Alphonsus Liguori
The brightest ornaments in the crown of the blessed in heaven are the sufferings which they have borne patiently on earth.
Alphonsus Liguori
God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.
Alphonsus Liguori
Let us remember the devil labors hard to disturb us at the time of recollection in order to make us abandon it. Let him then who omits mental prayer on account of distractions be persuaded that he gives delight to the devil.
