What will we answer to Him about that child, that old father and mother, because they are His creation, they are children of God.

Give people not only your care, but also your heart.

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

There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives - the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them.

They should give until it hurts, maybe a very small thing, maybe just a packet of cigarettes, but instead of by smoking that one packet, maybe I share that packet with somebody who has not got even one cigarette, and that's the beginning of love, to give until it hurts.

Each of us is merely a small instrument; all of us, after accomplishing our mission, will disappear.

Sometimes it is harder for us to smile at those who live with us, the immediate members of our families, than it is to smile at those who are not so close to us. Let us never forget: love begins at home.
