Dear Lord, what a madhouse the world is!

Boredom is desire seeking desire.

People involve themselves in countless activities which they consider to be important, but they forget about one activity which is more important and necessary than any other, and which includes all other things: the improvement of their soul

Work is the inevitable condition of human life, the true source of human welfare.

Once we're thrown off our habitual paths, we think all is lost, but it's only here that the new and the good begins.

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.

You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.
