Words

Words have an intrinsic power.  When they are true, sensible, and sincere, they heal "the hearts that mourn."  They help to settle disputes between husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters.  They help to establish and realize initiatives by the community and relieve suffering.

Words are sacred.

It is not what you are nor what you have been that God sees with his all-merciful eyes,

but what you desire to be.

Happiness

Happiness is not acquired.

It does not consist in appearances.

We each have to build it during each moment

of our lives, working through our hearts.
