When we pray we link ourselves with an inexhaustible motive power.

The quality of life is more important than life itself.

Like hatred, jealousy is forbidden by the laws of life because it is essentially destructive.

Prayer, like radium, is a luminous and self-generating form of energy.

All of us, at certain moments of our lives, need to take advice and to receive help from other people.

Man offers himself to God. He stands before Him like the canvas before the painter or the marble before the sculptor. At the same time he asks for His grace, expresses his needs and those of his brothers in suffering. Such a type of prayer demands complete renovation. The modest, the ignorant, and the poor are more capable of this self-denial than the rich and the intellectual.

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
