Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children!
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
He who knows how to suffer will enjoy much peace, and he is a conqueror of himself, the lord of the world, the friend of Christ, and an heir of Heaven.
Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing more sublime, nothing more expansive, nothing more joyful, nothing more abundant, nothing more pleasing in Heaven or on earth ; because love is born of God, nor can it rest upon created things, but only in God
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
