Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.

---

Do what you can and pray for what you cannot yet do.

---

Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. 'Love and do what you will.' If you keep silent, keep silent by love; if you speak, speak by love; if you correct, correct by love; if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.

---

The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.

---

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

---

It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.

---

Do you desire security? Here you have it. The Lord says to you, "I will never abandon you, I will always be with you." If a good man made you such a promise, you would trust him. God makes it, and do you doubt? Do you seek a support more sure than the word of God, which is infallible? Surely, He has made the promise, He has written it, He has pledged His word for it, it is most certain.

---

The measure of love is to love without measuring.

---

Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever; and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.

---

There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
