Love is the only future God offers.

For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.

The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.

One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.

Press on! A better fate awaits thee.

Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.

The saints were his friends, and blessed him; the monsters were his friends, and guarded him.
