So many signatures for such a small heart.

We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly.

God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

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...
