Since God is satisfied with our good will and honest efforts, let us also be satisfied with the outcome He gives to them, and our actions will never be without good results

[E]xcess in the practice of virtue is no less imperfect than the lack of it.

A man who behaves poorly in a Community will not do well in a parish.

[A] truly humble spirit humbles itself as much amid honors as amid insults, acting like the honeybee which makes its honey equally as well from the dew that falls on the wormwood as from that which falls on the rose.

God often delays the conclusion of a holy endeavor so that those involved in it might merit its grace by the length of the work, their patience, and their prayers. This is why I beg you not to grow weary in yours. Although He may delay, He will reveal that it is pleasing to Him, if it is done, nevertheless, in a spirit of resignation regarding the outcome.

Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying.

Who will excuse us before God for the loss of such a great number of people, who could be saved by the slight assistance we could give them?
