Do not try to please everybody. Try to please God, the angels, and the saints - they are your public.

When the heart is pure and simple it cannot help loving, because it has discovered the source of love which is God.

An open mind is a prerequisite to an open heart.

Why are we here? Where do we come from? Traditionally, these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead.

You have to find a way to not become bitter and live within the parameters of the situation and laugh your way through it…and you hope for a better day for the next generation.
