Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.

Nothing is more like a wise man than a fool who holds his tongue.

Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.

If we say a little it is easy to add, but having said too much it is hard to withdraw and never can it be done so quickly as to hinder the harm of our success.

There are many who want me to tell them of secret ways of becoming perfect and I can only tell them that the sole secret is a hearty love of God, and the only way of attaining that love is by loving. 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 God and man by loving. Begin as a mere apprentice and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art.

God is present everywhere, and every person is His work.

One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
