The family is…

The family is the most ancient institution which God founded in Paradise, when He called the first pair of human beings into existence. The first blessing which God gave was for the wellbeing of the family. With family life, the history of the world commences.
–Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)

If you get angry…

A river that is deep does not make waves when someone throws a stone into it. The same applies with us. If you get angry at insults thrown at you, you are a puddle.
–Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
