The bible is a remarkable fountain: the more one draws and drinks of it, the more it stimulates thirst.

Despair makes priests and friars.

God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.

The slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love toward us.

We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.

Against the flying ball no valor avails.

God's love does not love that which is worthy of being loved, but it creates that which is worthy of being loved.
