Never let us be discouraged with ourselves. It is not when we are conscious of our faults that we are the most wicked; on the contrary, we are less so. We see by a brighter light; and let us remember for our consolation, that we never perceive our sins till we begin to cure them.

I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.

It is better to die than to tell a lie

If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.

When you come to be sensibly touched, the scales will fall from your eyes; and by the penetrating eyes of love you will discern that which your other eyes will never see.

The history of the world suggests that without love of God there is little likelihood of a love for man that does not become corrupt.

Above all, live in the present moment and God will give you all the grace you need.
