30 quotes, most often on Love, Charity and God.

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
- God
I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.
- God
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.
- God
I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper’s wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
Statement of 1977, as quoted in Concise Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (2011) by Susan Ratcliffe, p. 373
- Charity
