Compassion should be our animating principle when undertaking instruction with children and adults, since they are made in God’s image.

All laugh and play together, not one cold, stiff soul appears. From the day they enter, reserve of any ungracious kind leaves them.

All are good and happy. The blessing of unity still dwells amongst us and oh what a blessing, it should make all else pass into nothing.

We have one solid comfort our hearts can always be in the same place, centred in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.

Let us take one day only in hands at a time. Resolve to do good today and better tomorrow.

We must strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women.

The simplest and most practical lesson I know is to resolve to be good today, but better tomorrow.

I have great confidence in you to do what you think best. State your opinion and always act with courage.

We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us.
