The fruit of silence is prayer.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.
I still think that the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, just having no one... That is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.
Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately it is not fashionable to talk with them.
