“Do you know when people really become spiritual? It is when they become the slaves of God and are branded with His sign, which is the sign of the Cross, in token that they have given Him their freedom.”

Don’t imagine that, if you had a great deal of time, you would spend more of it in prayer. Get rid of that idea; it is no hindrance to prayer to spend your time well.

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

It is of great importance, when we begin to practise prayer, not to let ourselves be frightened by our own thoughts.

This body of ours has one fault: the more you indulge it, the more things it discovers to be essential to it. It is extraordinary how it likes being indulged.

But the fact is, things always seem to come slowly when you are longing for them.

If this is the way You treat Your friends, no wonder You have so few!

After you die, you wear what you are.

We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.

All the troubles of the Church, all the evils in the world, flow from this source: that men do not by clear and sound knowledge and serious consideration penetrate into the truths of Sacred Scripture.

One always goes on as one begins.

If we practice love of neighbor with great perfection, we will have done everything.

God prefers your health, and your obedience, to your penance.

Let nothing disturb you, / Nothing dismay you; / All things are passing: / God never changes.

Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All things pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for.

Those who in fact risk all for God will find that they have both lost all and gained all.

Sometimes you do get caught up in the midst of becoming… a product, a brand, and not having a say in any of that.

I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans.

I like lip liners over lipsticks. I have so many of them from so many different brands, so I just pick the color that works.

She’s like turning on the radio and hearing a brand new song.

I try not to brand myself ‘weird’ any more because it sticks.

I’m a brand ambassador. I’ve been a fan of Nip+Fab for a while, so it fit perfectly. I just love their stuff.

Versace has always been a brand that I’ve loved, a brand that has supported me. I’ve been wearing Versace for so long, I come in here and I have friends here, and they really support what it is that I do. Our partnership has been great.

There’s an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.
