O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.

The only thing ever achieved in life without effort is failure.

The one you are looking for is the one who is looking.

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

Study always to have Joy, for it befits not the servant of God to show before his brother or another sadness or a troubled face.

Where there is discord may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. Where there is despair, may we bring hope.
