Pope Paul VI

No one is entitled to accept a label without its contents. This would not be honest. To be a Catholic means to be attached to the Church, a sincere and total profession of the faith of which she has the deposit, and, therefore, a joyful acceptance of the living magisterium which Christ has conferred upon her.

Blaise Pascal

Do the little things as if they were great things because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who accomplishes them in us and who lives our own life; and the great things as we do the small and easy ones, because of His almighty power.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

George W. Bush

The strong have a duty to protect the weak. In a culture that does not protect the most dependent, the handicapped, the elderly, the unloved or simply inconvenient become increasingly vulnerable.

. . . a vote cast with enthusiasm is worth exactly the same as one cast with ennui.

George S. Patton

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.

Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.

Mother Teresa

Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart.

When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Little things are indeed little, but to be faithful in little things is a great thing.

Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.

There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls - 30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—all different religions. But they all come to our prayers.

Pope John Paul II

In many social settings it is easier to be identified as an agnostic than a believer.

Christ paid a debt He did not owe because we owed a debt that we could not pay.

I think it is important to distrust yourself from yesterday, because sometimes he's wrong.
