Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.
When filled with holy truth the mind rests.
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
I would sooner pluck one single brand from the burning than explain all mysteries.
Remember the man who truly repents is never satisfied with his own repentance.
I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.
