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

All of us can attain to Christian virtue and holiness, no matter in what condition of life we live and no matter what our life work may be.

I have made a pact with my tongue, not to speak when my heart is disturbed.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.

Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God.

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.

Those who love to be feared fear to be loved.
