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
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Mother Teresa
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
Saint Augustine
The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C. S. Lewis
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
Mother Teresa
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.
Francis of Assisi
Hear the other side.
Saint Augustine
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
C. S. Lewis
All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.
Socrates
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
Saint Augustine
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
Mother Teresa
I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.
Socrates
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'
C. S. Lewis
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
C. S. Lewis
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
Mother Teresa
One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.
Socrates
I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.
Saint Augustine
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
Mother Teresa
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
Saint Augustine
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Mother Teresa
