For those who love, nothing is too difficult, especially when it is done for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

He who goes about to reform the world must begin with himself, or he loses his labor.

To have prevented one single sin is reward enough for the labors and efforts of a whole lifetime.

Let us work as if success depended upon ourselves alone, but with heartfelt conviction that we are doing nothing, and God everything.

Concerning the harsh treatment of the body for our Lord's sake, I would say, avoid anything that would cause the shedding even of a drop of blood.

May God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!
