Flowers often grow more beautifully on dung-hills than in gardens that look beautifully kept.

Don't get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God's Love, which is greater than our weakness.

Naturally we all have an inclination to command, and a great aversion to obey; and yet it is certain that it is more for our good to obey than to command; hence perfect souls have always had a great affection for obedience, and have found all their joy and comfort in it.

There is nothing as strong as tenderness, And nothing as tender as true strength.

Be patient with everyone, but above all with yourself. I mean do not be disheartened by your imperfections, but always rise up with fresh courage

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

Have patience to walk with short steps until you have wings to fly.
