Love needs to be proved by action.

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.

Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be.

Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.

The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.

When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.
