The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired.

By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.

Something happens inside of us when we are courteous and deferential toward others. It is all part of a refining process, which if persisted in, will change our very natures.

Listen to the whisperings of the Spirit, the gift of revelation to which you are entitled.

You can't plow a field simply by turning it over in your mind.

Love is the very essence of family life. Why is it that the children we love become so frequently the targets of our harsh words? Why is it that these children who love their fathers and mothers sometimes speak as if with daggers that cut to the quick? "There is beauty all around," only when there's love at home.
