Be fit for future…
None can become fit for the future life, who has not practiced himself for it now.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
To seek the greatest good…
To seek the greatest good is to live well, and to live well is nothing other than to love God with the whole heart, the whole soul, and the whole mind: It is therefore obvious that this love must be kept whole and uncorrupt, that is temperance; it should not be overcome with difficulties, that is fortitude, it must not be subservient to anything else, that is justice; it must discriminate among things so as not to be deceived by falsity or fraud, that is prudence.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Education of children…
The primary goal in the education of children is to teach, and to give examples of a virtuous life.
–Saint John Chrysostom (347-407)
Doing our duty…
In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
Let us work for our salvation…
Let us work for the food which does not perish – our salvation. Let us work in the vineyard of the Lord to earn our daily wage in the wisdom which says: Those who work in me will not sin. Christ tells us: The field is the world. Let us work in it and dig up wisdom, its hidden treasure, a treasure we all look for and want to obtain. If you are looking for it, really look. Be converted and come. Converted from what? From your own willfulness.
–Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
Forgive the inexcusable…
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.
–CS Lewis (1863-1929)
