The world has plenty of gold.
Gold in the soil, in the sea, in the coffers.
But gold does not solve the problem of poverty.

The world has plenty of space.
Space in the continents, in the cities, in the fields.
But space does not solve the problem of greed.

The world has plenty of culture.
Culture in education, knowledge, and opinions.
But the culture of intelligence does not solve the problem of selfishness.

All the powers of the soul are confined in three words – to will – to know – and to love.

To will, that is to converge all the activity, all the energy toward the aim to be attained, and to develop will power and direct it.

To know, because without profound study – without the acquaintance of things and laws, the thought and the will can lose themselves in the midst of forces they seek to conquer, and the elements they aspire to command.

The Spiritist center, even the simplest one, is a temple of mind renewal towards a superior life.

Its practitioners and attendees should not forget about the dignity of the task received and the elevation of their ministry.
In this regard, it is always lamentable to doubt the divine essence of each task performed therein.

A stained-glass window is illumined when the sun shines through, and its brilliant colors glow in a magic dance of light.

The human soul, though made up of superior elements, will only reach fullness when permeated by divine clarity.
Like a sparkling diamond, the human soul also becomes a shining star when perfected through suffering and dedication to the service of others.

Your life on Earth is the book you are writing...

Each day is a page...
Each hour is a statement of your personality in the form of people and situations that reach you.

Do not lose the opportunity to compose an odyssey of love around your name.
Good works are phrases of light you address to humankind.

In each reply to others, in each gesture towards your neighbours, in each manifestation of your opinion, you write the history of your passage with eternal ink.

Living faith is not transferable property.
It is a personal conquest.

Legitimate happiness is not merchandise that can be borrowed.
It is an inner realization.

Grace does not descend from heaven at random.
It has to be earned.

The best charity is not that which is done by substitutes.
We must perform it ourselves.

Moral strength is not the result of others pleading for us.
It comes from our own effort to take stand on the side of goodness.
