If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.

We need prayer to understand God's love for us. If we really mean to pray and want to pray we must be ready to do it now. These are only the first steps towards prayer but if we never make the first step with determination, we will not reach the last one: the presence of God

Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.

What we sometimes consider a stumbling block is rather a rock we can step on.

Christ prays in me, Christ works in me, Christ thinks in me, Christ looks through my eyes, Christ speaks through my words, Christ works with my hands, Christ walks with my feet, Christ loves with my heart. As St Paul's prayer was: I belong to Christ and nothing will separate me from the love of Christ. It was that oneness, oneness with God in the Holy Spirit.

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
