It is a great help to progress to possess a friend who is privileged to point out to you your failings.

St Ignatius

The more useful the conversation of one who is fervent with outsiders is if it be good, the more harmful is it if it be dissolute.

St Ignatius

If a man is not moved to forsake all that is his for God, let him nonetheless refer all things to him; many though they be, they will always be less than that one thing that Christ called needful.

St Ignatius

O God, if men only knew what thou art!

St Ignatius

If your neighbor’s sin is so manifest that you cannot in honesty excuse it, blame not the sinner but the violence of his temptation, remembering that you yourself might have fallen as badly or even worse.

St Ignatius
