“ WHATEVER the future may have in store for us, I pray that we may always remain confident and gay and full of faith.
I have said so often to others, "do not despair, do not curse your cross, weary one. Through suffering comes power." ”

“ Of whatever belief or race a man may be, a great soul is a great soul—a noble character, a noble character. I have read "Quo Vadis," and I have been thrilled with admiration for the martyrs to their faith, who amid the bitterest suffering, still looked faithfully and trustingly toward the Highest and proclaimed His praise in beautiful song. ”

“ Our school must not have the air of a school, or we that of school-mistresses. It must be like a great household of which we are the mothers. We will try and teach them love as we understand it, by word and deed. ”
