You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.

Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.

What is it you want to change? Your hair, your face, your body? Why? For God is in love with all those things and he might weep when they are gone.

We are all fairies living underneath a leaf of a lily pad.
