You must grow like a tree, not like a mushroom
In no order of things is adolescence the time of the simple life.
We must never try to escape the obligation of living at our best.
It is better to begin a great work than to finish a small one.
Our spiritual life is a venture in the dark, between the soul and God, and no spiritual life is worth the name unless it is so.
There ought to be so many who are excellent, there are so few.
