We need to realize that poverty doesn’t only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else

The Lord likes small things best, especially those done with love

In the developed countries there is a poverty of intimacy, a poverty of spirit, of loneliness, of lack of love. There is no greater sickness in the world today than that one

A life not lived for others is not a life.

Life is love, enjoy it. Life is mystery, know it. Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.”

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

Life is a game, play it… Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it

Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in

Live simply so others may simply live

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it.”

Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.

A life not lived for others is not a life.

Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Speak in a low, persuasive tone. Listen; be teachable. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them…For as long as you are green, you can grow

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish

Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it

Profound joy of the heart is like a magnet that indicates the path of life.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish

Life is a challenge, we must take it.

I go of my free choice, with the blessing of obedience

The greatest mistake is to think you are too strong to fall into temptation. Put your finger in the fire and it will burn. So we have to go through the fire.

If we are humble, nothing will change us, neither praise, nor discouragement

A way of satisfying our brethrens’ hunger is to share with them whatever we have – to share with them until we ourselves feel what they feel.

Life’s a song, sing it.

Peace begins with a smile. I will never understand all the good that a simple smile can accomplish.

Smile at each other. Smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn’t matter who it is – and that will help to grow up in greater love for each other

Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Let us not use bombs and guns to overcome the world. Let us use love and compassion. Peace begins with a smile

Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile

Peace begins with a smile

Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family.

Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

There is no key to happiness; the door is always open

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

Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more.

Do not worry about why problems exist in the world – just respond to people’s needs

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty

There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Your true character is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do ‘Nothing’ for you.

The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
