Leave Those Worldly Things That Shackle The Heart And Come With Us In Search Of Love

Don't you long to shout to those... who are bustling around you.. 'Leave those worldly things that shackle the heart - and very often degrade it - leave all that, and come with us, in search of Love!' - Saint Josemaria Escriva

Be Quick To Listen But Slow To Speak

Be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to rouse your temper; God’s righteousness is never served by man’s anger. Nobody must imagine that he is religious while he still goes on deceiving himself and not keeping control over his tongue; anyone who does this has the wrong idea of religion. - James 1:19-20,26

Inflation is taxation without legislation. - Milton Friedman

To Have A Blessed Home In Myself

Humility is perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised.. to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and to be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness when all around and about is seeming trouble.

Discipline Is Needed, Not Eloquence; Character, Not Cleverness

Isn't it absurd to send children out to jobs and to school, and to do all you can to prepare them for these, and yet not to "bring them up in the chastening and admonition of the Lord" [Eph. 6:4]?... Discipline is needed, not eloquence; character, not clevernes; deeds, not words. These gain a man the kingdom. - Saint John Chrysostom (347-407AD)

Truth Suffers, But Never Dies

Truth suffers, but never dies. - Saint Teresa of Avila

Once Thought A Safety Net, Welfare Has Become A Cage, Entrapping People In Poverty

Entitlement programs have taken the drive to thrive out of a whole segment of society. Just like caging a tiger, after a while they forget how to hunt. Once thought a safety net, welfare has become a cage, entrapping people in poverty. - Christina Molander Pasterz
