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

Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn’t seek the glory of Christ.

See that you are not suddenly saddened by the adversities of this world, for you do not know the good they bring, being ordained in the judgments of God for the everlasting joy of the elect.

Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.

God leads every soul by a separate path.

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.

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.

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.

No treaty is ever an impediment to a cheat.

All the best have something in common, a regard for reality, an agreement to its primacy over the imagination.

When a man finds a conclusion agreeable, he accepts it without argument, but when he finds it disagreeable, he will bring against it all the forces of logic and reason.

Men keep their agreements when it is an advantage to both parties not to break them; and I shall so frame my laws that it will be evident to the Athenians that it will be for their interest to observe them.

Men keep agreements when it is to the advantage of neither to break them.

I really liked one girl and asked her out 22 times, but she always said no. Finally I sang to her, and she said she’d go out with me.

Most of us believe everyone has a right to his own opinion – as long as it agrees with ours.

If we cannot agree, let us at any rate agree to differ, but let us part as friends.
