You will never truly realize God is all you need until He becomes all you have.

The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small

Not handouts, but rather hands held

We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy

Together we can do great things.

The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy

You are greater than you know.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples

I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things

Doctors can heal the body, but it is music that uplifts the spirit.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway

Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives: Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank people will try to cheat you: Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight: Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous of you: Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten by tomorrow: Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: Give your best anyway

God doesn’t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.

I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person

If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are

When you don’t have anything, then you have everything

I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness

I fear just one thing: Money! Greed was what motivated Judas to sell Jesus

If you are discouraged, it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers

If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”

The first step to becoming is to will it.

Although she be but little, she is fierce

Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure as long as you have done your best.

We are not called to be successful, but faithful.

Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism

Together we can do great things

There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter.

I am only a pencil in the hand of God, but it is He who writes

It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself

Jesus said love one another. He didn’t say love the whole world

The fruit of love is service, which is compassion in action.

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

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.

If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve.

People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.

I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.

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

It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving

Do ordinary things with extraordinary love

Whenever you share love with others, you’ll notice the peace that comes to you and to them

If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love

I don’t do great things. I do small things with great love.

Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.
