I have often repented of having spoken. I have never repented of silence.

Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is no quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr.

Let each look to himself and see what God wants of him and attend to this, leaving all else alone.

It is inner abandonment that leads men to the highest truth.

Suffering is a short pain and a long joy.

There is nothing pleasurable except what is in harmony with the utmost depths of our divine nature.

By ignorance the truth is known.

Nowhere does Jesus hear our prayers more readily than in the Blessed Sacrament

After big storms there follow bright days.

Let each look to himself and see what God wants of him and attend to this leaving all else alone.

The best way of life, is the way of love.

Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.
