Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person.

Remember that nothing is small in the eyes of God. Do all that you do with love.

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon the way we occupy that place.

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.

Perfect love means putting up with other peoples shortcomings, feeling no surprise at their weaknesses, finding encouragement even in the slightest evidence of good qualities in them.

Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity.

You know well that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, as at the love with which we do them.

When I die, I will send down a shower of roses from the heavens,I will spend my heaven by doing good on earth.

Above the clouds the sky is always blue.

If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wildflowers.

Let us love, since our heart is made for nothing else.

To love others, first find that sense of connection within yourself. In other words, love yourself first. that's when you will learn to love life.

Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.

I never see any difference in boys. I only know two sorts of boys. Mealy boys and beef-faced boys.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

As writers, it is our job not only to imagine, but to witness.

I get letters. I get several a week, I think. A lot of people want a picture, a lot of people just want an autograph.

I don't think people should do things that they're not comfortable with, unless they want to stretch themselves in that way and challenge themselves.

God's overriding goal is to glorify Himself.

Though we are involved in social work, our goal is to be contemplatives at the heart of the world. We are with Jesus twenty-four hours a day. We do everything for Jesus. We do it all unto Jesus.
