I would prefer a thousand times to receive reproofs than to give them to others.

Prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is a cry of gratitude and love in the midst of trail as well as joy; finally, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus.

He longs to give us a magnificent reward. He knows that suffering is the only means of preparing us to know Him as He knows Himself, and to become ourselves divine.

God would never inspire me with desires which cannot be realized; so in spite of my littleness, I can hope to be a saint.

The world's thy ship and not thy home.

Above the clouds the sky is always blue.

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.
