“A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.”

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

In search of my Love I will go over mountains and strands; I will gather no flowers, I will fear no wild beasts; And pass by the mighty and the frontiers.

Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.

There is nothing better or more necessary than love.

In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.

Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.

Whenever anything disagreeable or displeasing happens to you, remember Christ crucified and be silent.

He who loves is not ashamed before men of what he does for God, neither does he hide it through shame though the whole world should condemn it.

My spirit has become dry because it forgets to feed on You.

It is great wisdom to know how to be silent and to look at neither the remarks, nor the deeds, nor the lives of others.

Silence is God’s first language.

In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.

All the powers of soul and body, memory, understanding, and will, interior and exterior senses, the desires of spirit and of sense, all workin and by love.

When there is no love, pour in love and you shall draw out love.

Faith is a dark night for man, but in this very way it gives him light.

God is a dark night to man in this life.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Excellence isn’t a one-week or one-year ideal. It’s a constant.

Perfection belongs to the Gods; the most we can hope for is excellence.

I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident.

Truth is so excellent, that if it praises but small things they become noble.

People will buy the car just because it’s a great car. We want them to think it’s excellent value for money and then, oh yeah, it happens to be electric.

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.
