- Only God can make you truly happy.
- Even the best of people will fail you. Don’t expect people to be like God.
- Forgive yourself and get up quickly after each fall. Let not your mistake bring you to despair, but towards the path of humility.
- Things will not always happen as planned, learn to be resilient. Do your best and let God’s beautiful plan for you unfold in His time.
- Worry is useless. We can never know what will happen next. Even if your worry comes true, remember that your worry never helped you at all. It just took away your joy for the present and robbed you of the time you could have spent better. You spend time better when you do things out of love rather than out of fear.
- It is useless trying to please people. Most people won’t be pleased anyway, and no one who has only lived for the approval of others has ever been pleased with oneself. Please God and you will discover also what will satisfy your soul.
- Evil may seem to triumph for a while, but it is Light that will always triumph in the end.
- Truth doesn’t have to be complicated. You will understand how simple truth is once you seek it with all your heart.
- Evil may seem to have a good time. It gains wealth, fame and power. It laughs and pretends to have joy. But remember that there can be no true peace for the wicked.
- You need two things to make the right decision?—?your conscience and your commonsense. You lose more and more of both once you lose your faith in God.
- Pride is often the culprit that robs us of our happiness.
- We can often blame God for many things, especially for the sufferings we experience in this life. In the end, however, God is our only hope, and the only answer to the deepest desires of our hearts.
