By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers, as by doing good we cultivate those that belong to humanity.
What is this world? A mere curl of smoke for the wind to scatter.
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.
The best way to do ourselves good is to be doing good to others; the best way to gather is to scatter.
It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures. He who sent forth his apostles without gold had not need of gold to form his Church. The Church possesses gold, not to hoard, but to scatter abroad and come to the aid of the unfortunate.
