The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.

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.

My soul experienced a peace so sweet, so deep, it would be impossible to express it.

When one loves, one does not calculate.

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.

God would turn the world around to find suffering in order to give it to a soul upon whom He has set His Divine gaze with ineffable love.

The good God would not inspire unattainable desires.
