QUOTATION: Love

Where there is no love, put love, and you will find love.

--St. John of the Cross

QUOTATION: The Essence of Christianity

Remember that the Christian life is one of action, not speech and daydreams.

--St.Vincent Pallotti

QUOTATION: Violence Cannot Defend Lies

An idea which needs rifles to survive dies of its own accord.

--Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko

QUOTATION: Tranquility and Wisdom

Thinking is associated rather with repose. This Aristotle himself teaches in Book VII of the Physics, where he says that if a man is to become wise he must first achieve an inward tranquility; which is why the young and the restless are not, as a rule, wise. Wisdom and prudence are acquired, says Aristotle, by one who is content to sit down and be quiet.

--St. Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on Aristotle’s De Anima, I, lect. VIII, 125.

QUOTATION: The Poor

We must think of the poor not as a problem to be solved, but as people with potential to be unleashed.

--Pope John Paul II
