At this time I choseas friends two little girls of my own age; but how shallow are the hearts of creatures! Oneof them had to stay at home for some months; while she was away I thought about her veryoften, and on her return I showed how pleased I was. However, all I got was a glance of indifference-my friendship was not appreciated. I felt this very keenly, and I no longer soughtan affection which had proved so inconstant. Nevertheless I still love my little school friend,and continue to pray for her, for God has given me a faithful heart, and when once I love,I love for ever.

Why should we defend ourselves when we are misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let others judge us in any way they like. O blessed silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!

Prayer for me is an updward leap of the heart

For one pain endured with joy, we shall love the good God more forever.

The science of loving, yes, that's the only kind of science I want I'd barter away everything I possess to win it.

Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.

As the sun shines both on the cedar and the smallest flower, so the Divine sun illumines each soul.
