Henri J.M. Nouwen
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

Thérèse of Lisieux
“Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.”
St. Therese of Lisieux

Teresa de Ávila
“It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves.”
St. Teresa of Avila

Bernard of Clairvaux
“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity.

There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity.

There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”
Bernard of Clairvaux

Teresa de Ávila
“The important thing is not to think much but to love much; and so do that which best stirs you to love.”
Teresa of Avila
