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.

St. Francis of Assisi was hoeing his garden when someone asked what he would do if he were suddenly to learn that he would die before sunset that very day. "I would finish hoeing my garden," he replied.

It is not fitting, when one is in God's service, to have a gloomy face or a chilling look.

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man's heart and make a dwelling for himself there.

Where there is darkness, let there be light.

All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
