“During the night we must wait for the light.”

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.

Let us think only of spending the present day well. Then when tomorrow shall have come, it will be called today, and then we will think about it.

Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

There is nothing small in the service of God.

Nothing appeases an enraged elephant so much as the sight of a little lamb.

Faith is like a bright ray of sun light. It enables us to see God in all things as well as all things in God.

One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.

Every Christian needs a half-hour of prayer each day, except when he is busy, then he needs an hour.

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet.

Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.

We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.

Half an hour’s meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.

A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.

He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.

Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within.

So what you’re saying is, I’m your brand of heroin? I teased, trying to lighten the mood. He smiled swiftly, seeming to appreciate my effort. Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.

Your prayers are your light; Your devotion is your strength; Sleep is the enemy of both. Your life is the only opportunity that life can give you. If you ignore it, if you waste it, You will only turn to dust.

A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.

The shadows that now lie dark upon our path will soon be dispelled and we shall walk with the light all about us if we but be true to ourselves.

May the world be a brighter place. Be the light.

Things light up.

Do you see how the candle light glows as it performs its life purpose. Let your heart be the candlelight.
