3. "The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother."
4. "Holiness consists simply in doing God's will, and being just what God wants us to be."
5. "I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy."
6. "Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing."
7. "The world's thy ship and not thy home."
8. "I will let fall from heaven a shower of roses."
9. "Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love? Great deeds are forbidden me. The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love."
10. "The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."
