You are greater than you know.
Without patience, we will learn less in life. We will see less. We will feel less. We will hear less. Ironically, rush and more usually mean less.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you.
There are so many religions and each one has its different ways of following God. I follow Christ: Jesus is my God, Jesus is my Spouse, Jesus is my Life, Jesus is my only Love, Jesus is my All in All; Jesus is my Everything.
People who love each other fully and truly are the happiest people in the world. They may have little, they may have nothing, but they are happy people. Everything depends on how we love one another.
God has created us to love and to be loved, and this is the beginning of prayer-to know that He loves me, that I have been created for greater things.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.
We have not come into the world to be numbered; we have been created for a purpose; for great things: to love and be loved.
The beginning of prayer is silence. If we really want to pray we must first learn to listen, for in the silence of the heart God speaks. And to be able to see that silence, to be able to hear God we need a clean heart; for a clean heart can see God, can hear God, can listen to God; and then only from the fullness of our heart can we speak to God. But we cannot speak unless we have listened, unless we have made that connection with God in the silence of our heart.
Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity.
