Just as stinginess is blameworthy, so is facility in paying more for things than they are worth...

With God's help, you will continue to succeed in your leadership and in your duties, because Our Lord's work is accomplished not so much by the multitude of workers as by the fidelity of the small number whom He calls.

Foresight is good when it is subject to the latter, but it becomes excessive when we are in a hurry to avoid something we fear. We rely more on our own efforts than on those of his Providence, and we think we are doing a great deal by anticipating His orders by our own disorder, which causes us to rely on human prudence rather than on his Word.

If God is the center of your life, no words are necessary. Your mere presence will touch hearts.

Just as stinginess is blameworthy, so is facility in paying more for things than they are worth...

Remember, Monsieur, that Saint Augustine says that a person who does not obey the doctors is doing his best to kill himself.

Remember, Monsieur that roses are not gathered except in the midst of thorns and that heroic acts of virtue are accomplished only in weakness.
