If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love god better because of them.

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

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
