To love

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

--David Viscott

Give something

"Give something, however small, to the one in need. For it is not small to one who has nothing. Neither is it small to God, if we have given what we could."

--Saint Gregory Nazianzen

Forsake thyself

Forsake thyself, resign thyself, and thou shalt enjoy a great inner peace.  Give all for all;  seek nothing;  call for nothing back;  stand purely and with a full confidence before Me, and thou shalt possess Me.

--from The Following Of Christ

A breath of kindness

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."

--Dinah Maria Craik

Flowers

"Brilliant deeds are not for me...How then, shall I prove my love, for love is proved by deeds? By my little actions, and my little sacrifices! The little child will cast her flowers to God."
--words of Saint Therese of Lisieux
