How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.

The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.

Love means to be willing to give until it hurts.

Then we have the silence of the eyes which will always help us to see God. Our eyes are like two windows through which Christ or the world comes to our hearts. Often we need great courage to keep them closed. How often we say, I wish I had not seen this thing, and yet we take so little trouble to overcome the desire to see everything.

There are no great acts, only small acts done with great love

I don't do great things. I do small things with great love.
