If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.
We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.
If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.
Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
The Simple Path: Silence is Prayer, Prayer is Faith, Faith is Love, Love is Service, The Fruit of Service is Peace.
Work without love is slavery.
Love to be real, it must cost – it must hurt – it must empty us of self.
I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.
The person who gives with a smile is the best giver because God loves a cheerful giver.
People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.
Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.
Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.
When you don’t have anything, then you have everything.
May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.
In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.
