If we love Jesus, we shall be loved in return by Him, and that is perfect happiness.

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.

Let's try not to be exacting with other people, but rather to pass over in silence those thousand little annoyances that tend to irritate us. For we know that no one is perfect in this life, and we must put up with the defects of others as they put up with ours.

Humility is the virtue that requires the greatest amount of effort.

How can we thankful? We can only love the Heart of Jesus more generously and by our union with Him, become the most humble.

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.

If humility is always desirable, generous humility is still more so.
