The road to hell is strewn with roses. If it does not stink, it is not a foot. Never ask the Lord to give you anything; ask Him to put you where things are. The envious never give praise. They only take it in. We are all made of the same clay, but not from the same mold. He who assists everybody assists nobody. One timely shout is better than constant talk. He who doesn’t speak will get no help from God. Duty before devotion. Everyone makes firewood of a fallen tree. Necessity is a great teacher.
