“What father ever gave up his son to death for the sake of his slave!”

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.

Out of darkness is born the light.

Consider your possessions loaned to you by God.

Obedient people never trust in themselves.

The path to heaven lies through heaven, and all the way to heaven is heaven.

One who knows more, loves more.

We trust and believe in what we love.

We’ve had enough of exhortations to be silent! Cry out with a hundred thousand tongues. I see that the world is rotten because of silence.

We all owe death a life.

I swear to keep the dead upon my mind, / Disdain for all time to be overglad.

Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship.

And here I am, dying in my bed, like cattle die. May the eyes of cowards never sleep.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

And perhaps beyond those shrouded swells another man did walk with another child on the dead gray sands. Slept but a sea apart on another beach among the bitter ashes of the world or stood in their rags lost to the same indifferent sun.

If I lived my life by what others were thinkin’, the heart inside me would’ve died.

Just in case you get pneumonia or die. The dangerous bits are always the last days of shooting.
