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

2. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier

3.We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

4. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

5. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

12 Peace begins with a smile.

13. 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

16. If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

17. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

18. Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

20. Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

21. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

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

23. If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Robin Williams

I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves? I basically started performing for my mother, going, 'Love me!' What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection. When I was little, my mother was funny with me, and I started to be charming and funny for her, and I learned that by being entertaining, you make a connection with another person. Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party! No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world. I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy! I am every day more convinced that we women, if we are to be good women, feminine and amiable and domestic, are not fitted t
