“Prayer will never do our work for us; what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.”
“One must not always think so much about what one should do, but rather what one should be. Our works do not ennoble us; but we must ennoble our works.”
“Prayer not only teaches and strengthens one for work, work teaches and strengthens one for prayer.”
“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.”
“Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger. More than ever hour after, our work is never over.”
“Memory weaves and traps us at the same time according to a scheme in which we do not participate: we should never speak of our memory, for it is anything but ours; it works on its own terms, it assists us while deceiving us or perhaps deceives up to assist us.”
