Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in Heaven, and to begin that friendship here which is to endure for ever there.

The spirit cannot endure the body when overfed, but, if underfed, the body cannot endure the spirit.

Let is walk ... joyously, dear souls, among the difficulties of this passing life ... These pains will have an end when our life ends, after which there will be only joy, only contentment, only eternal consolation.

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

Humility consists in not esteeming ourselves above other men, and in not seeking to be esteemed above them.

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

Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.
