MRS. O'BRIEN
The nuns taught us there were two ways through life - the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.
MRS. O'BRIEN
Grace doesn't try to please itself - accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked; accepts insults and injuries.
MRS. O'BRIEN
Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.
MRS. O'BRIEN
The nuns taught us that no one who loves the way of grace ever comes to a bad end.
MRS. O'BRIEN
Help each other. Love everyone. Every leaf. Every ray of light. Forgive.
MRS. O'BRIEN
I wanted to be loved because I was great. A big man. I'm nothing. Look at the glory around us - trees, birds. I lived in shame. I dishonored it all and didn't notice the glory. I'm a foolish man.
MR. O'BRIEN
It takes fierce will to get ahead in this world.
