John of the Cross Quotes About Perfection

• If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.

  Juan de la Cruz

  Perfection, Progress, Deny

• However high be your endeavors, unless you renounce and subjugate your own will - unless you forget yourself and all that pertains to yourself - not one step will you advance on the road to perfection.

  Juan de la Cruz

  Perfection, Steps, Forget You

• For true devotion must issue from the heart, and consist in the truth and substances alone of what is represented by spiritual things; all the rest is affection and attachment proceeding from imperfection; and in order that one may pass to any kind of perfection it is necessary for such desires to be killed.

  Juan de la Cruz

  Spiritual, Heart, Attachment
