Day of judgment…
I will carefully consider how, on the day of judgment, I would wish to have discharged my office or my duty; and the way I would wish to have done it then, I shall do now.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Will never accomplish…
They who at the outset count up too strictly the difficulties and accidents of an undertaking, or who yield to fear too easily, will never accomplish anything great.
— Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Two philosophies…
Never forget that there are only two philosophies to rule your life: the one of the cross, which starts with the fast and ends with the feast. The other of Satan, which starts with the feast and ends with the headache.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Want to be a saint…
“What do you want to want to be, anyway?” “I don’t know; I guess what I want to be is a good Catholic.” “What you should say,” –he told me– “what you should say is that you want to be a saint.”
–Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
Stay with God…
For now, stay with God, and go with God.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
Do little things…
Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us, and who lives our life: and do the greatest things as though they were little and easy, because of His omnipotence.
–Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
