There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is curiosity. There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.
Bernard of ClairvauxWhen God forgives a sinner who humbly confesses his sin, the devil loses his dominion over the heart he had taken.
Bernard of ClairvauxLet your prayer for temporal blessings be strictly limited to things absolutely necessary.
