 The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. |
| It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. |
| There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in - that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible. |
| Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness. |

| We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. |
| Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them. |
| Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. |
| I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. |
