For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.
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.
The world's thy ship and not thy home.
Suffering is the very best gift He has to give us. He gives it only to His chosen friends.
Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.
When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens,I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.
