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 consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

It is difficult to know at what moment love begins it is less difficult to know that it has begun.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.

If you wished to be loved, love.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

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

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.

Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.

A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
