Conformity to  the  will  of  God  is  an  easy  and certain means  of  acquiring  a  great  treasure  of graces  in  this  life. — St. Vincent de  Paul.

Do not  consider  what  others  do,  or  how  they do it;  for  there  are  but  few  who  really  work  for their own  sanctification. — St. Alphonsus.

To-day God  invites  you  to  do  good;  do  it  therefore to-day. To-morrow you  may  not  have  time, or God  may  no  longer  call  you  to  do  it. — St. Alphonsus.

Humility is  the  virtue  of  Our  Lord  Jesus Christ, of  His  blessed  Mother,  and  of  the  greatest saints. It embraces  all  virtues  and,  where  it is  sincere,  introduces  them  into  the  soul. — St. Vincent de  Paul.

It will  be  a  great  consolation  for  us  at  the  hour of death  to  know  that  we  are  to  be  judged  by Him  whom  we  have  loved  above  all  things  during life. — St. Teresa.
