A religious ought to dread more being afraid of poverty than experiencing it.

God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.

The safest and most suitable form of penance seems to be that which causes pain in the flesh but does not penetrate to the bones, that is, which causes suffering but not sickness.

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.

He who has heard the Word of God can bear his silences.

What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines.

Laugh and grow strong.
