For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.

Lord, take me from myself and give me to yourself.

He will provide the way and the means, such as you could never have imagined. Leave it all to Him, let go of yourself, lose yourself on the Cross, and you will find yourself entirely.

There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.

Ponder the fact that God has made you a gardener, to root out vice and plant virtue.

A full belly does not make for a chaste spirit.
