Mothers of children, even if they have a thousand, carry each and every one fixed in their hearts, and because of the strength of their love they do not forget any of them. In fact, it seems that the more children they have the more their love and care for each one is increased.
–Saint Angela Merici (1474-1540)
Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine.
–Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
‘What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.’ What does that mean? God, creating the human race, took flesh out of flesh and joined them in a union, and thus established that this connection must not hastily be broken. How? Because in the union of man and woman flesh will be united to flesh and blood to blood by a legal ceremony, so they cannot be divided from each other in foolish haste.
–Saint Hildegarde of Bingen (1098-1179)
Evil may have its hour, but God will have His day.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Man is incurably curious.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil and a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment. But what is more important than the definition is the field of its application. The important point here is this: Tolerance applies only to persons but never to truth. Intolerance applies only to truth but never to persons. Tolerance applies to the erring; intolerance to the error.
–Blessed Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)
