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.

Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

It is very easy to love alone.

All love is lost but upon God alone.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.

All love is vanquished by a succeeding love.

Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
