“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

“Let us meditate on the love of God, who being supremely happy Himself, communicateth perfect happiness to us. Supreme happiness doth not make God forget us; shall the miserable comforts of this life make us forget Him?”

“The root of joy is gratefulness… It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”

“Let us cultivate our garden.”

“We know now that the soul is the body, and the body the soul. They tell us they are different because they want to persuade us that we can keep our souls if we let them make slaves of our bodies.”

“God said, "Let us make man in our image." Man said, 'Let us make God in our image."”

“It's good to suffer. Dont complain. Bear, bow, accept - and be grateful that God has made you suffer. For this makes you better than the people who are laughing and happy.”

“The world is filled with people who are no longer needed -- and who try to make slaves of all of us -- and they have their music and we have ours.”

“Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.”

“Today, let us make haste to enjoy life. Who knows if we will be tomorrow?”
