Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

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

God takes pleasure to see you take your little steps; and like a good father who holds his child by the hand, He will accommodate His steps to yours and will be content to go no faster than you. Why do you worry?

While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things.

Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.

Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.

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.
