"A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it." - G.K. Chesterton, Everlasting Man "Do not think that because the virtues you have in mind do not shine in your neighbor that he will not be precious in God's sight for something you are not thinking." --Saint John of the Cross.

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”
C. S. Lewis – The Abolition of Man

"Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians." - St. Francis Xavier

"Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously  about what evils they will call excusable." - G.K. Chesterton "It constantly amazes me that men and women wander the earth marveling at the highest  mountains, the deepest ocean, the whitest sands, the most exotic islands, the most intriguing birds of the air and fish of the sea - and all the time never stop to marvel at themselves and realize their infinite potential as human beings." - Matthew Kelly, The Rhythm of Life "To make the sign of the cross is to pronounce a visible and public yes to him who died for us and who is risen, to the God who in the humility and weakness of his love is omnipotent, stronger than all the power and intelligence of the world." - Pope Benedict XVI "Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." - C.S. Lewis "Hear Mass daily; it will prosper the whole day. All your duties will be performed the better for it, and your soul will be stronger to bear its daily cross. The Mass is the most holy act of religion; you can do nothing that can give greater glory to God or be more profitable for your soul than to hear Mass both frequently and devoutly. It is the favorite devotion of the saints." - St. Peter Julian Eymard "Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing." - St. Therese of Lisieux "As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love." - St. Edith Stein "Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age." - Pope John XXIII
