If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery of things.

May you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?

Remember, too, every day, and whenever you can, repeat to yourself, Lord, have mercy on all who appear before Thee today. For every hour and every moment thousands of men leave life on this earth, and their souls appear before God. And how many of them depart in solitude, unknown, sad, dejected that no one mourns for them or even knows whether they have lived or not!

It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half.

Love is such a priceless treasure that you can buy the whole world with it, and redeem not only your own but other people's sins. Go, and do not be afraid.

What is most vile and despicable about money is that it even confers talent. And it will do so until the end of the world.

Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
