Mother Teresa
Don't be proud of a false knowledge that there is no God when you are not God.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.
Francis of Assisi
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
Saint Augustine
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis

The desire is thy prayers; and if thy desire is without ceasing, thy prayer will also be without ceasing. The continuance of your longing is the continuance of your prayer.
Saint Augustine
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
Saint Augustine
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
We are certainly in a common class with the beasts; every action of animal life is concerned with seeking bodily pleasure and avoiding pain.
Saint Augustine
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
