Excerpted from a letter to the Countess of Gramont, March 21, 1692:
Take up again the readings that have touched you. They will touch you again, and you will get more out of them than the first time. Bear yourself without flattering yourself or becoming discouraged. This happy medium is rarely found. We promise ourselves great things of ourselves and of our good intentions, or else we despair of all.
. . . the true Kingdom of God within us . . .
