First, Resolve upon, and daily endeavour to practise, a life of seriousness and strict sobriety.

Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.

Let me forget the world and be swallowed up in the desire to glorify God.

I care not where I go, or how I live, or what I endure so that I may save souls. When I sleep I dream of them; when I awake they are first in my thoughts.

Give yourself to prayer, to reading and meditation on divine truths: strive to penetrate to the bottom of them and never be content with a superficial knowledge.

There is a God in heaven who overrules all things for the best; and this is the comfort of my soul.

Further, Take heed that you faithfully perform the business you have to do in the world, from a regard to the commands of God; and not from an ambitious desire of being esteemed better than others.

Oh! one hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.

I cared not where or how I lived, or what hardships I went through, so I could but gain souls to Christ

I longed to be a flame of fire continually glowing in the divine service and building up of Christ's kingdom to my last and dying breath.

It is sweet to be nothing and less than nothing that Christ may be all in all.

I believe there is a kind of happiness to be found in every thing in life, in all that is good and pleasing, as well as in that which is sad or poignant.

To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving.

A modest man never talks of himself.

With any other movie, you're entering new territory, so it's quite different to be involved in something where it's the same characters, and the same people.

If one were forced to select a single word to exemplify Bishop's peculiar charm and power, it might well be 'No.'

I often can't remember which scenes are and aren't in the final product, because I saw so many different versions of the Lemony Snicket that I forget which ended up on the cutting-room floor.

You must ask for God's help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

If you can't understand the spec for a new technology, don't worry: nobody else will understand it either, and the technology won't be that important.

My morale has never been higher than since I stopped asking for grants to keep my lab going.

I think I feel the most comfortable being insane.
