- My children, I don't want Paradise without you.
- Whoever plants a tree, plants hope, peace, and love and has the blessings of God.
- Consider all people to be greater than yourself, though they may have many weaknesses. Don't act with hardness, but always think that each person has the same destination as we do. Through the grace of God I consider all people to be saintly and greater than myself.
- The spiritual life has great joys. You fly away and leave this world and don't take anything else into consideration. You become a child and God lives in your heart.
