The following quotations are from a small handwritten collection made by Sister Josephine Di Biase (1930-2013) and found after her death in her room:
“The education of children depends less on the spoken word than on the living examples set by the teachers themselves.” Thomas Merton
“Be patient with everyone but above all with yourself.” Saint Francis de Sales
“The opportunity to do great things for God does not come very often, but at every moment we can do little things with great love.” Saint Francis de Sales
“Love is our reason for living. Love is our reason for giving.” (not identified)
