“You know well that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.”

I felt it better to speak to God than about Him.

Prayer for me is an updward leap of the heart

The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much; but to ask much of it.

Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.

The loveliest materpiece of the heart of God is the love of a Mother.

The science of loving, yes, that’s the only kind of science I want I’d barter away everything I possess to win it.

If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.

Discouragement itself is a form of pride.

It is my weakness that gives me all my strength.

Never stop wanting for your magic.

Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.

Love is the Cross, and the Cross is Love.

Suffering is the very best gift He has to give us. He gives it only to His chosen friends.

(Her last words) Oh! I love Him! My God, I love You!

My whole strength lies in prayer and sacrifice, these are my invincible arms; they can move hearts far better than words, I know it by experience.

The most important actions are never comfortable.

Insight must precede application.

What goes will come back.

These men are all talk; What is needed is action – action!

If you aren’t where you want to be or you haven’t achieved all you hope to achieve, the reason most likely resides not around you but within you. Take responsibility and then take action.

As long as the government’s actions are secret, it cannot be held accountable. A government for the people and by the people should be transparent to the people.

If we define risk as ‘the likelihood of an irreversible negative outcome,’ inaction is the greatest risk of all.
