“I hope death will be a great happiness, a happiness as great as that of love, fulfilled love”
“... in marriage the great thing was love, and that with love one would always be happy, for happiness rests only on oneself.”
“Life's great happiness is to be convinced we are loved.”
“Beauty and love pass, I know... Oh, there's sadness, too. I suppose all great happiness is a little sad. Beauty means the scent of roses and then the death of roses-”
“The married man and the mother of a Christian family, if they are faithful to their obligations, will fulfill a mission that is as great as it is consoling: that of bringing into the world and forming young souls capable of happiness and love, souls capable of sanctification and transformation in Christ.”
“Be strong, live happy and love, but first of allHim whom to love is to obey, and keepHis great command!”
