I love my solitude, and I would love it still more if I had more of it.

Those who desire only the good pleasure of God abide in peace even in the midst of failure, for God has not told us that He requires success of us.

I am where God wills me to be, and so I have found rest and security. His wisdom governs me, His power defends me, His grace sanctifies me, His mercy encompasses me, His joy sustains me and all will go well with me.

I live now in solitude and am able to use my time reflecting on the past and preparing for death. I cannot put away the thought of the Indians and in my ambition I fly to the Rockies.

Strength of character is certainly needed to face life in the world and to stand by right principles, especially in the age in which we live.

Let us bear our cross and leave it to God to determine the length and the weight.

For a long time a very strong and deep attraction has drawn me to missionary life.
