Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything - God alone suffices.

You pay God a compliment by asking great things of Him.

Whenever we think of Christ, we should recall the love that led Him to bestow on us so many graces and favors, and also the great love God showed in giving us in Christ a pledge of His love; for love calls for love in return. Let us strive to keep this always before our eyes and to rouse ourselves to love Him.

Lord, how you afflict your lovers! But everything is small in comparison to what you give them afterwards.

A soul which gives itself to prayer, either much or little, should on no account be kept within narrow bounds.

For pity's sake, don't start meeting troubles halfway.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
