Do not struggle against your thoughts; they are stronger than you are. If you want to be free of them, accept them.

True wisdom consists in respecting the simple things we do

When we boldly seek love, love reveals itself to us, and we end up attracting more love. If one person loves us, everybody loves us.

The day is made up of 24 hours and an infinite number of moments. We need to be aware of those moments and make the most of them regardless of whether we're busy doing something or contemplating life.

Solitude is not the absence of company, but the moment when our soul is free to speak to us and help us decide what to do with our life.

Oddly enough I never used to suffer from depression on cold, gray, cloudy days like this. I feel as if nature is in harmony with me, that it reflected my soul. On the other hand, when the sun appeared, the children would come out to play in the streets, and everyone was happy that it was such a lovely day, and then I would feel terrible, as if that display of exuberance in which i could not participate was somehow unfair.

The Lord often has his prophets climb mountains to converse with Him. I always wondered why He did that, and now I know the answer: when we are on high, we can see everything else as small. Our glory and sadness lose their importance. Whatever we conquered or lost remains there below. From the heights of the mountain, you see how large the world is, and how wide its horizons.
