Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.
In the end, dear friend, it is always between us and God, not between us and them.
The most important medicine is tender love and care.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway.
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
