“But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience.”
― Immanuel Kant

“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”
― St. Therese of Lisieux

“You go your way
I'll go your way too”
― Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing

“But little or great, suffering accepted and offered to Our Lord produces peace and serenity. When it is not accepted, the soul is out of tune and its internal rebellion is shown externally in gloom or bad temper. We have to make a conscious decision to take up and carry the little Cross of every day with determination. Suffering can be sent to us by God to purify many things in our past life or to strengthen our virtues and to unite us to the sufferings of Christ our Redeemer, who, in his innocence, suffered the punishment due to our sins.”
― Francis Fernandez, In Conversation with God: Meditations for Each Day of the Year, Vol. 1: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany
