“Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.”

Enrich your soul in the great goodness of God: The Father is your table, the Son is your food, and the Holy Spirit waits on you and then makes His dwelling in you.

Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don’ look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in Christ crucified you can do everything.

Hope comes from love, because people always trust in those they love.

Father, I am hungry; for the love of God give this soul her food, her Lord in the Eucharist

God cannot leave us. It is just that our soul is so vast, we do not always feel His lips upon the veil.

God is closer to us than water is to a fish.

It’s one of the properties of love to love what is loved by the person we love.

Do not be satisfied with little things, because God wants great things!

Make two homes for thyself, my daughter. One actual home and the other a spiritual home which thou are to carry with thee always.

A full belly does not make for a chaste spirit.

Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from the love of riches.

To the servant of God… every place is the right place, and every time is the right time.

Make yourself a “capacity” and I will make myself a “torrent.”

You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.

The soul, as soon as she comes to know Me, reaches out to love her neighbors.

In the end, peace can be achieved only by hegemony or by balance of power.

If my mind can conceive it, My heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it!

The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.

I just wanted to achieve. Or maybe I didn’t want to be dismissed as incapable of achievement.

We must achieve both security and solvency. In fact, the foundation of military strength is economic strength.

For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.

The furthest I have even thrown the ball was 85 yards. But I had a little wind at my back, so I don’t claim that one.

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.
