Our progress in holiness depends on God and ourselves - on God's grace and on our will to be holy.

If you can't do great things, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway.

Let us remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
