Be who you are and be that well.

He who complains, sins.

I recommend to you holy simplicity.

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.

We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring it back to the point quite gently... And even if you did nothing during the whole of your hour but bring your heart back, though it went away every time you brought it back, your hour would be very well employed.
