This world is not the sum total of God's resources -- on the contrary, it is only the 'dream,' the probation, the prelude of the true world, the true life.
There ought to be so many who are excellent, there are so few.
Do not wait for ideal circumstances, nor the best opportunities; they will never come.
It is better to begin a great work than to finish a small one.
Love gives a sense of rest.
To aim at the best and to remain essentially ourselves is one and the same thing.
