“How friendly we should all be with one another if nobody were interested in money and honor.”

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.

All times are dangerous times.

Truth suffers, but never dies.

Never do anything which you could not do in the sight of all.

Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed. Even if sickness distracts from thoughts, all that is needed is the will to love.

The saints rejoiced at injuries and persecutions, because in forgiving them they had something to present to God when they prayed to Him.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with.

Love is blind; friendship tries not to notice.

Your choices will define you; so make them the right ones.

If you wear black socks with white shoes then we can’t be friends.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

It’s a sad thing not to have friends, but it is even sadder not to have enemies.

All friendship is desirable in itself, though it starts from the need of help.

If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.
