Fight All Error...But Do It With Good Humor, Patience, Kindness, And Love.

Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause. - Saint John of Kanty

The Heart Of Man Is An Abyss

The heart of man is an abyss; there is room in it for infinity because in it there is an infinity of desire; and it cannot remain empty; the stark horror of an alien evil will inhabit it if it is not filled by the limitless ocean of the goodness of God. - Fr. Gerald Vann, O.P.

Faith Is Illuminative, Not Operative: It Does Not Force Obedience

Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action. - Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman

Whatever Is True, Whatever Is Noble, Whatever Is Pure, Whatever Is Lovely...

"...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8

For A General Rule You May Be Sure That Complaining Is Sin

Complain as little as possible of your wrongs, for as a general rule you may be sure that complaining is sin; the rather that self-love always magnifies our injuries: above all, do not complain to people who are easily angered and excited. If it is needful to complain to someone, either as seeking a remedy for your injury, or in order to soothe your mind, let it be to some calm, gentle spirit, greatly filled with the Love of God; for otherwise, instead of relieving your heart, your confidants will only provoke it to still greater disturbance; instead of taking out the thorn which pricks you, they will drive it further into your foot. – Saint Francis de Sales

The Principle Cause Of Delinquent Children Is Delinquent Parents

The principle cause of delinquent children is delinquent parents. Almighty God has given children to the parents as so much clay to be molded according to the Divine Image. When a child is born, a crown is made for it in heaven; woe to those parents if that crown is eternally unused. – Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Servant of God

Hope Is The Power Of Being Cheerful In Desperate Circums

Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances which we know to be desperate. – G. K. Chesterton

You're Bored? That's Because You Keep Your Senses Awake And Your Soul Asleep

You're bored? That's because you keep your senses awake and your soul asleep. ― Saint Josemaría Escrivá

God, Grant Me The Serenity

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me.

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)
