Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ
- St. Jerome
The modern mind will accept nothing on authority, but will accept anything on no authority. Say that the Bible or the Pope says so and it will be dismissed without further examination. But preface your remark with 'I think I heard somewhere,' or, try but fail to remember the name of some professor who might have said 'such-and-such,' and it will be immediately accepted as an unshakable fact.
- G.K. Chesterton
The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is humility. For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, neither does he know how to defend himself from it.
- Saint Vincent de Paul
I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, But God declared: 'Go down again - I dwell among the people.'
- Bl. Cardinal John Henry Newman
God gives each one of us sufficient grace ever to know His holy will, and to do it fully.
- St. Ignatius of Loyola
Be kind to all and severe to thyself.
- St. Teresa of Avila
Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon heaven, the only one goal of our labors.
- St. Therese of Lisieux
