Where is this heaven? You have not even the power to see one grain of sand here. Can you see this earth of ours? The earth appears to us to be stationary, and the sun seems to go round us; but if we could get away from our earth, and look down from the sun upon it, we should see that it is moving round the sun in a circle, and that the sun is standing still. So it is with our conceptions of heaven and hell; they are not real, but only human conceptions.
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
We must never forget that it is through our actions, words, and thoughts that we have a choice
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely, and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.
Nature takes away any faculty that is not used.
