Measure others by oneself…
It is dangerous to make everybody go forward by the same road: and worse to measure others by oneself.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Help someone in distress…
Help someone in distress and you lighten your own burden; the very joy of alleviating the sorrow of another is the lessening of one’s own.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Criticism of others…
Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Every work of ours…
Every work of ours ought to be done both without and with moderation… for love toward God should be without measure, and that for the creature should be measured by that for God.
–Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)
Never say or do anything until…
Never say or do anything until you have asked yourself whether it will be pleasing to God, good for yourself, and edifying to your neighbor.
–Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556)
Look at a crucifix…
If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a crucifix, and think that Christ has shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave his enemies, but prayed the Eternal Father to forgive them also.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
