Trials help us detach ourselves from the earth; they make us look higher than this world.

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.

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

I take so little interest in my daily life, that I hardly remember to eat and drink.

Nothing is more pleasant to the eye than green grass kept finely shorn.

Of course, we can change. We're very adaptable. But it takes a while.

People can really change. When they're far away from each other, their hearts will change. It's so cruel that the only thing I can do is wait. - Mouri Ran
