“The strongest and purest love is not the one that starts from impressions, but the one that comes from admiration.”

Too great pity is the greatest cruelty.

People become like what they love.

Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.

All the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.

God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.

You must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.

The devil never sleeps.

For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.

Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.

Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.

Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.

Every step of the way to heaven is heaven.

Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find.

It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.

And let the truth be your delight proclaim it, but with a certain congeniality.

What is life, when wanting love? Night without a morning; Love’s the cloudless summer sun, Nature gay adorning.

I have always admired my mother’s style. For as long as I can remember, her style has been classic, elegant and something I have related to.

Every word I write is crude and weak when it comes to conveying you how much I appreciate you.

We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word ‘admire’ then means ‘marvel at.’

Good deeds, when concealed, are the most admirable.

Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it.

Honesty is admired, and starves.

Be loved, be admired, be necessary; be somebody.
