Let us live in such a way as not to be afraid to die.

It constantly happens that the Lord permits a soul to fall so that it may grow humbler.

If you fall sometimes, you must not be discouraged.

Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, though all things pass, God does not change. Patience wins all things. But he lacks nothing who possesses God; for God alone suffices.

Let nothing disturb thee, let nothing affright thee. All things are passing. Patience obtains all things. He who has God has everything - God alone suffices.

Never affirm anything unless you are sure it is true.

Love turns work into rest.

Strive to close the eyes of the body and open those of the soul and look into your own heart.

It is love alone that gives worth to all things.

The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.

It is true that we cannot be free from sin, but at least let our sins not always be the same.

There is no affliction, trial, or labor difficult to endure, when we consider the torments and sufferings which Our Lord Jesus Christ endured for us.

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged.

To converse with You, O King of glory, no third person is needed, You are always ready in the Sacrament of the Altar to give audience to all. All who desire You always find You there, and converse with You face to face.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Let us consider what the glorious Virgin endured, and what the holy apostles suffered, and we shall find that they who were nearest to Jesus Christ were the most afflicted.

If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive.

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

We always find that those who walked closest to Christ were those who had to bear the greatest trials.

If God should desire to raise us to the position of one who is an intimate and shares his secrets, we ought to accept this gladly.

What a great favor God does to those He places in the company of good people!

Let us look at our own faults, and not other people's. We ought not to insist on everyone following in our footsteps, nor to take upon ourselves to give instructions in spirituality when, perhaps, we do not even know what it is.
