Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
It was easy to love God in all that was beautiful. The lessons of deeper knowledge, though, instructed me to embrace God in all things.
When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing - nothing.
Don't canonize me too soon. I'm perfectly capable of fathering a child.
Ask the beasts and they will teach you the beauty of this earth.
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.
