Heaven for me is hidden in a little Host Where Jesus, my Spouse, is veiled for love. I go to that Divine Furnace to draw out life, And there my Sweet Saviour listens to me night and day.

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.

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.

Some men are more easily broken by kindness than censure.

Don’t make miracle your focus

No matter what the competition is I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.

About every four years, someone says to me, "I've got a friend who looks exactly like you." What can you say to this?

Don't worry. They're all against me. But I have one advantage: they don't know what they want. I do.

It's kind of a crazy thing to decide that you're going to be worth tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars and set out to do that. It doesn't suit everybody.

Enflamed with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue; stirred up with high hopes of living to be brave men and worthy patriots, dear to God, and famous to all ages.

Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God
