Dismiss all anger and look into yourself a little. Remember that he of whom you are speaking is your brother, and, as he is in the way of salvation, God can make him a Saint, in spite of his present weakness.
–Saint Thomas of Villanova (1488-1555)
If a man truly loves God, and has no will but to do God’s will, the whole force of the river Rhine may run at him, and will not disturb him nor break his peace. If we find outward things a danger and disturbance, it comes from our appropriating to ourselves what is God’s.
–Johannes Tauler (c. 1300-1361)
The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.
–GK Chesterton (1874-1936)
We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
–Blaise Pascal (1623 – 1662)
My confidence is placed in God who does not need our help for accomplishing his designs. Our single endeavor should be to give ourselves to the work and to be faithful to him, and not to spoil his work by our shortcomings.
–-Saint Isaac Jogues (1607-1646)
How good it is to trust God! Turn to Him often, as children look to their father and mother in their needs.
–Saint Louise de Marrilac (1591-1660)
