"[To his boys, when the Oratory had to move yet again:] Courage – moving seems to suit us; we are growing all the time. God is our Father and He will take care of us."
"When one is convinced that his cause is just, he will fear nothing."
"[On his deathbed, in a moment of delirium:] Pray! Pray, but with faith – with living faith! Courage! Onward, ever onward!"
"Don’t be afraid, Our Lady will send us all that is necessary."
"Be brave, do not be led by what others think or say!"
"I do not fear at all what men can do to me for speaking the truth. I only fear what God would do if I were to lie."
"I never shrink from any undertaking which I know is good and necessary, no matter what the difficulties. If, for example, I must see some unfriendly important person, I don’t hesitate, but first I recite a Hail Mary. I do the same before calling on anybody. Then, come what may, I do my best and leave the rest to the Lord."
