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

Words lead to deeds, they prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.

Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent.

If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.
