• The Jesuits were quite balked by those Indians who, being burned at the stake, suggested new modes of tortures to their tormentors. Being superior to physical suffering, it sometimes chanced that they were superior to any consolation which the missionaries could offer; and the law to do as you would be done by fell with less persuasiveness on the ears of those who, for their part, did not care how they were done by, who loved their enemies after a new fashion, and came very near freely forgiving them all they did.

• He estado leyendo el "Génesis" varios domingos, no como un cristiano lee para "consolarse espiritualmente", "instruirse", etc., no como un infiel lee para reñir y criticar, sino como alguien que desea informarse y formarse en la más antigua y maravillosa de todas las producciones literarias. La literatura de la Biblia debe estudiarse como se estudia a Shakespeare, por su ilustración y lenguaje, por sus imágenes reales de la naturaleza del hombre y la mujer, por su registro histórico primitivo.

• Sentía gran aversión a los viajes, sobre todo cuando eran largos. Pero una vez que me ponía en marcha, no pensaba en ellos, pensando en Aquel por cuyo servicio se emprendían y acordándome de que Nuestro Señor sería alabado y el Santísimo Sacramento moraría en la casa que iba a fundar... Debería ser un gran consuelo para nosotros -aunque muchos de nosotros no pensamos en ello- que Jesucristo, verdadero Dios y verdadero hombre, habite como lo hace en tantos lugares en el Santísimo Sacramento...

  Teresa de Ávila

• La madre lo es todo: es nuestro consuelo en el dolor, nuestra esperanza en la miseria y nuestra fuerza en la debilidad. Ella es la fuente del amor, de la misericordia, de la compasión y del perdón. Quien pierde a su madre, pierde un alma pura que le bendice y le protege constantemente.

  Khalil Gibran

• Trials make more room for consolation. There is nothing that makes a man have a big heart like a great trial. I always find that little, miserable people, whose hearts are about the size of a grain of mustard seed, never have had much to try them. I have found that those people who have no sympathy for their fellows — who never weep for the sorrows of others — very seldom have had any woes of their own. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles.

• I believe in the supreme excellence of righteousness; I believe that the law of righteousness will triumph in the universe over all evil; I believe that in the attempt to fulfil the law of righteousness, however imperfect it must remain, are to be found the inspiration, the consolation, and the sanctification of human existence.
  We live in order to finish an, as yet, unfinished universe, unfinished so far as the human, that is, the highest part of it, is concerned. We live in order to develop the superior qualities of man which are, as yet, for the most part latent.

• The sorest afflictions never appear intolerable, but when we see them in the wrong light; when we see them in the hand of God, who dispenses them; when we know that it is our loving Father who abases and distresses us; our sufferings will lose their bitterness and become even a matter of consolation.

• Would that men might come at last to see that it is quite impossible to reach the thicket of the riches and wisdom of God except by first entering the thicket of much suffering, in such a way that the soul finds there its consolation and desire. The soul that longs for divine wisdom chooses first, and in truth, to enter the thicket of the cross.
