We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

To love our neighbor in charity is to love God in man.

Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.

Charity and devotion differ no more, the one from the other, than the flame from the fire.

Work hard every day at increasing your purity of heart, which consists in appraising things and weighing them in the balance of God's will.
