Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you!
- St. Augustine
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
- St. Augustine
Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort me and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
- St. Patrick
Temperance is a disposition that restrains our desires for things which it is base to desire.
- St. Augustine
The dress of the body should not discredit the good of the soul.
- St. Cyprian
Whether, therefore, we receive what we ask for, or do not receive it, let us still continue steadfast in prayer. For to fail in obtaining the desires of our heart, when God so wills it, is not worse than to receive it; for we know not as He does, what is profitable to us.
- St. John Chrysostom
For Faith is the beginning and the end is love, and God is the two of them brought into unity. After these comes whatever else makes up a Christian gentleman.
- St. Ignatius of Antioch
