Here are some "inspirational" quotes that I've come across. This is a beautiful idea for a gift. I'm sure it will be much appreciated. 
“The duties and cares of the day crowd about us when we awake each day - if they have not already dispelled our night’s rest. How can everything be accommodated in one day? When will I do this, when that? How will it all be accomplished? Thus agitated, we are tempted to run and rush. And so we must take the reins in hand and remind ourselves, “Let go of your plans. The first hour of your morning belongs to God. Tackle the day’s work that He charges you with, and He will give you the power to accomplish it.”
-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
As the fish lives in the Sea and the Sea in the fish, so I am in her and she is in me...
~ God to Catherine of Siena
A Litany of the Person:
Image of God
born of God's breath
vessel of divine love
after his likeness
dwelling of God
capacity for the infinite
eternally known
chosen of God
home of Infinite Majesty
abiding in the Son
called from eternity
life in the Lord
temple of the Holy Spirit
branch of Christ
receptacle of the Most High
wellspring of Living Water
heir of the kingdom
the glory of God
abode of the Trinity.
God sings this litany
eternally his Word.
This is who you are.
~ Abbey of Gethsemani; Trappist, KY
Patient Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages,
We are impatient of being on the way to do something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you.
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances
acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ
"Some days, doing 'the best we can' may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn't perfect-on any front-and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else."
-Fred Rogers
"Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything from you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength."
- St. Philip Neri
"Be not a slave of your own past - plunge deep into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall both explain and move beyond the old."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
