Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.

If one hour's work is enough to govern France, four minutes is all that is needed for Italy. There is no nation more easily frightened; even its poetic imagination predisposes it to fear, and they look upon power as on an image that fills them with terror.

Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.

Never, never have I been loved as I love others!

Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.

One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.

A religious life is a struggle and not a hymn.
