“Happiness depends on one being exactly fitted to the nature of one's work.”
Alexis Carrel

“Prayer is the force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.”
Alexis Carrel

“Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor ”
