When afflictions arrest us, we shall murmur and grumble and struggle until we see that it is God that strikes.

God is as just as he is merciful.

Christ is lovely, Christ is very lovely, Christ is most lovely, Christ is always lovely, Christ is altogether lovely.

A man full of hope will be full of action.

An idle life and a holy heart is a contradiction.

Where truth goes, I will go, and where truth is I will be, and nothing but death shall divide me and the truth.

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be; nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be; nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be; not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be; but the sincerity of them he looks at.
