“What peace can we hope to find elsewhere if we have none within us.”

It is impossible for human tongue to exaggerate the riches which a vision from God brings to the soul: it even bestows health and refreshment on the body.

To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.

Consider seriously how quickly people change, and how little trust is to be had in them; and hold fast to God, Who does not change.

In light of heaven, the worst suffering on earth will be seen to be no more serious than one night in an inconvenient hotel.

From moment to moment one can bear much.

May I not come before You with empty hands, since we are rewarded according to our deeds.

When we accept what happens to us and make the best of it, we are praising God.

Love draws forth love.

Prayer is an act of love. Words are not needed.

Desire to see God, be fearful of losing Him, and find joy in everything that can lead to Him. If you act in this way, you will always live in great peace.

Pain is never permanent.

It is the nature of love to work in a thousand different ways.

It is a dangerous thing to be satisfied with ourselves.

Don’t let your sins turn into bad habits.

The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.

When I get into bed at night, I hope I don’t get into it alone!

I know for certain that miracles happen, but only for those who hang on to hope.

I hope you find grace in the spaces in between your racing thoughts and melancholy – be kind to your beautiful mind.

Hopefully 10 years from now people won’t even realize we started out selling shoes. They will just think about Zappos as a place to get the best customer service.

Be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.

Where no hope is left, is left no fear.

Even on the darkest days the sun still rises.

Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature.
