These are very unskillful comparisons to represent so precious a thing, but I am not clever enough to think out any more: the real truth is that joy makes the soul so forgetful of itself, and of everything, that it is conscious of nothing, and able to speak of nothing, save of that which proceeds from its joy... Let us join with this soul, my daughters all. Why should we want to be more sensible than she? What can give us greater pleasure than to do as she does? And may all the creatures join with us for ever and ever. Amen, amen, amen.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.

There is so much love in us all, but often we are too shy to express our love, and keep it bottled up inside us. We must learn to love, to love until it hurts, and we will know how to accept love.

Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.

The poorest of the poor are those who feel that they are unloved.

We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion.

It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you...yes, it is Christmas every time you smile at your brother and offer him your hand.
