She was poor in this world's goods, but rich in faith and good works.

No poor person who asked her for bread ever went away empty.

Sometimes people would say, "I wouldn't give him a mouthful; he is not worthy," and then she would say in the tenderest and sweetest manner: "Suppose our heavenly Father only gave to us because we are worthy; what would any of us have ?" I know she once said of a miserable sot with whom she shared her scanty food, that he is a wretched creature, but I wanted to get at his heart, and the best way to it was through his stomach.

I never like to preach religion to hungry people.

There is something very beautiful about the charity of the poor, they give not as the rich of their abundance, but of their limited earnings, gifts which when given in a right spirit bring a blessing with them..
