...a great good is worth being long desired.

There is no act of charity that is not accompanied by justice or that permits us to do more than we reasonably can.

If you think something should be done, take the trouble to write to me about it, and together we will decide the time and manner of doing it.

Let us allow God to act; He brings things to completion when we least expect it.

God's affairs are accomplished gradually and almost imperceptibly and His spirit is neither violent nor tempestuous.

Is it not better to fail after asking advice than to risk acting on our own?

I feel so strongly about the truths Our Lord taught us by word and example that I cannot help but see how everything done according to that teaching always succeeds perfectly well, while things done the opposite way have a quite different result.
