Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

True progress quietly and persistently moves along without notice.

Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.

If after all your efforts you cannot succeed, you could not please our Lord more than by sacrificing to Him your will, and remaining in tranquility, humility, and devotion, entirely conformed and submissive to His divine will and good pleasure.

The Lord delights in every little step you take.

You can attract more bees with a spoonful of sugar than a cupful of vinegar.
